The first proactive support platform for Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia.
Powered by Artificial Intelligence, Dhakira transforms the smartphone into a true digital prosthesis that actively supports memory, orientation and daily life.

Restoring Autonomy

 Dhakira is more than an app. It’s a proactive companion that anticipates needs before they arise. By offering continuous guidance and gentle cognitive stimulation, it helps preserve identity, independence, and confidence for people experiencing cognitive decline.

Reducing Caregiver Burden

Caring for a loved one can be overwhelming. Dhakira supports caregivers with a 360° view of daily needs, combining familiar voice messages with intelligent monitoring. It acts as a reliable assistant, easing stress and allowing caregivers to get back valuable time for their own lives.

Predictive, Context-Aware AI

 Dhakira learns from each user in real time, adapting to their habits and challenges. It doesn’t just collect information; it takes action. By understanding context and environment, it provides timely prompts, cognitive support and risk prevention exactly when needed.

Built on Science

 Dhakira is grounded in neuropsychological research. It continuously tracks key indicators to monitor cognitive changes, enabling highly personalized support that evolves with the user over time.

 

 

Our Mission: Redefining Autonomy

 

 Dhakira  was created to subvert the paradigm of assistive technology. Instead of requiring users to take initiative, it works quietly in the background: guiding, reminding and supporting in real time.In a world where cognitive decline often takes independence away, Dhakira helps restore it through seamless, “invisible” technology.
The user doesn’t need to look for the app. The app reaches them, always respecting usability, privacy, consent and security. With Dhakira , the smartphone becomes more than a device.
It becomes a precision therapeutic tool, a digital prosthesis designed to support memory, decision-making and everyday life.
