## Resource

183 Creating Digital Legacies with Reflekta AI (with Grief Specialist Dawn DeLaloye) Hospice Explained host and former hospice nurse Marie Betcher interviews grief specialist Dawn DeLaloye about Reflekta AI, an intergenerational storytelling platform that helps people create a "reflection" of themselves or loved ones—living or deceased—by adding photos, voice recordings, and memories guided by an AI biographer. Dawn explains it takes about 20 minutes to start, has launched seven months ago, and already includes about 15,000 stories; listeners can try it by talking with sample elders Virginia and Arthur. She describes how reflections can preserve details beyond photo captions, support hospice and terminally ill patients by affirming they are more than a diagnosis, and may be healing for grief, sharing her experience creating a reflection of her father who had Lewy body dementia. Dawn outlines sharing and subscription access, and how voice can be preserved using recordings or a close relative's voice. 00:00 Podcast Disclaimer 00:29 Meet Your Host 00:42 Introducing Dawn DeLaloye 02:02 What Is Reflekta AI 03:42 Early Traction 04:04 Try Talking to Elders 05:23 Why It Was Founded 07:05 Legacy for Hospice 07:34 Creating After Death 10:21 Setup Time and Prompts 11:50 Healing Through Story 13:53 Everyone Has a Story 16:13 Sharing and Subscription 18:07 Meaning at End of Life 22:11 Preserving a Loved Voice 24:49 Final Thoughts and Wrap https://reflekta.ai/ If you want to help, you can donate to help support Hospice Explained at the Buy me a Coffee link https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Hospice Hospice Explained Affiliates & Contact Information Buying from these Affilite links will help support this Podcast.
