inTouch Takes Center Stage at Google Cloud Summit
How a Simple Idea to Help Seniors Stay Connected is Catching the Attention of Google
We're thrilled to share some exciting news with our inTouch family community. On May 27th, our founder Vassili le Moigne was invited to present inTouch at the prestigious Google Cloud Summit – and the response has been overwhelming.
From Personal Challenge to Global Recognition
What started as a personal struggle – Vassili trying to stay connected with his aging parents while living abroad for 37 years – has now caught the attention of one of the world's largest tech companies. Standing on stage at Google's summit, Vassili shared how inTouch came to life from the simple recognition that so many of us face the same challenge: wanting to keep our parents engaged, independent, and connected to family life, even when our schedules don't always allow for daily check-ins.
Why Google Took Notice
Martin Svoboda, Google's Industry Manager for Startups and Exporters, captured the moment perfectly: *"It was an absolute pleasure to host you on stage and hear about great things you are doing with intouch.family and amazing journey ahead!"*
But why would Google – a company that works with cutting-edge AI and serves billions of users – be interested in what we're doing? The answer lies in something we've always believed: the most powerful technology is the kind that helps families stay connected and supports seniors in maintaining their independence.
The Reality Behind the Recognition
Here's what Google saw that resonated so deeply: inTouch isn't just another tech solution. It's addressing one of the most important challenges of our aging society – helping seniors stay mentally active, socially engaged, and connected to their families. Research shows that regular meaningful conversations help seniors maintain their cognitive sharpness and emotional well-being, while giving families peace of mind.
For those of us in the "sandwich generation" – juggling careers, raising families, and caring for aging parents – this support is invaluable. We want our parents to thrive independently while staying connected to family life, but between work meetings, school pickups, and daily responsibilities, those regular conversations that keep them engaged often become challenging to maintain.
More Than Just a Phone Call
What impressed the Google audience wasn't just our technology, but our understanding of what keeps seniors thriving. inTouch isn't trying to replace family connections – it's designed to enhance them and support your parent's independence. Our AI companion Mary makes those daily calls that help keep your parent mentally stimulated and socially engaged, discussing topics they genuinely enjoy, from gardening and cooking to family memories and current events.
The magic happens in the details: Mary remembers previous conversations, celebrates your parent's interests, and sends you gentle updates about how they're doing. It's like having a caring friend who helps your parent stay connected to the world while keeping you informed about their well-being.
What This Means for Families Like Yours
Being recognized by Google validates something we've known from day one: families want to support their parents' independence while staying closely connected. Technology should help seniors remain engaged and mentally active, not isolate them further.
If you've been wondering how to better support your parent's independence while managing your own busy life, consider this: we're not just a startup with a good idea anymore. We're a solution that's caught the attention of tech leaders worldwide because we're helping families maintain meaningful connections that support senior independence.
Looking Ahead
As Martin Svoboda mentioned, we have an "amazing journey ahead." With the backing and recognition from partners like Google, we're expanding our reach to help even more families stay connected while supporting their parents' independence. We're adding new languages, improving our conversation abilities, and finding new ways to keep seniors mentally engaged and socially connected.
But our mission remains the same: helping busy families like yours ensure their parents stay mentally sharp, socially engaged, and connected to family life – all while maintaining their cherished independence.
