500 participants are being sought for the three-month programme. They will play a key role in shaping the app’s features in exchange a range of benefits including a free lifetime subscription and a stake in the company behind the Peggi app. 

Glenda Devlin, Founder of Your Health & Care, the company developing the Peggi app says: 

“There is a clear need for a social media technology that is really easy to use, very safe, and makes it incredibly useful for families and friends to support and stay connected with their vulnerable loved ones. We’ve learned so much in the last 18 months by working with dementia communities, and so now we want to rebuild it. The app’s forthcoming features will include AI-driven tools to generate life stories you can actually interact with. But we want to make sure it’s absolutely right for the people who need the help most as well as the people they are caring for.”
