Memory,
restored.
She looks up at you, and her glasses quietly show your name — and that you're her daughter. The recognition comes back. So does the calm.
See It In Action
Recognition, live.
Vela quietly recognizing a familiar face — showing their name and how you know them, right when it matters.
The Problem
Nearly 7 million Americans 65+ are living with Alzheimer's — and most can't recognize the faces of people they love.
Dementia robs patients of the most fundamental human experience — knowing who is in the room. The fear, confusion, and heartbreak is both profound and preventable.

How It Works
See who's there. Always.
Passive Recognition
The glasses quietly scan for familiar faces — no buttons, no setup, no cloud. Recognition happens on-device in under two seconds.
Contextual Display
A gentle display shows the person's name, their relationship to you, and a warm memory — enough to restore confidence, nothing that overwhelms.
Voice Companion
A calm, familiar voice through the glasses offers spoken context, gentle reminders, and daily orientation — warm, patient, always there.
The Caregiver App
For the people
who show up.
Vela's caregiver app keeps the family in sync — voice check-ins, doctor-ready reports, passive health trends, and quiet patterns nobody else would catch. Available now while the glasses ship.

The Team
Built by people who care.
Built on Trust
The questions that matter most.
Where do the faces live?
On the glasses — nowhere else. Faces and names stay on-device. They never touch a cloud, never leave the frames, and never train anyone else's system.
How hard is it to set up?
A caregiver adds the people who matter in the companion app — just a photo and a name. The person wearing Vela does nothing at all.
What if it doesn't recognize someone?
Vela only ever shows people a caregiver has added. It never guesses at strangers, and when it isn't sure, it stays quiet — so it never puts the wrong name on a face.
