echobox

***As featured on CTV and BBC News.

Echobox is where we can create and protect the story of our
life. While helping individuals and families cope with depression,
boredom, anxiety and grief, Echobox also reconnects people with
themselves and their loved ones. This meaningful innovation sparks
memories, kindles refreshing conversations, boosts cognitive activity
and is now available worldwide on iOS!

By listing favourite things, writing descriptions, attaching pictures
and adding links to related material (even making audio and video
recordings), we can truly capture all the sights, sounds, flavours,
colours, scents and memories that are most dear to us. This rich,
detailed reflection will one day serve as an irreplaceable tribute to
our memory and a treasured gift for those we leave behind. Friends and
family will always have this realm to visit, reminisce and rediscover
all the many things we love about life!

We can also host Echoboxes for others by creating multiple realms at no cost. This
means we can also catalogue our children’s yearly interests and
achievements or help our parents gather and organize priceless memories
for safe-keeping! Echoboxes can also be transferred from one device to
another, enabling care workers the ability to ‘gift’ a patient’s realm
to a member of their family.

Echobox is FREE to join, has NO ADVERTISING, contains no news feed,
opinions, comments or ‘likes’, and in-app purchases are all optional. It
is a personal, private sanctuary for us to fill up as we wish. Contacts
are made strictly by invitation only, giving users full control over
who has access to see their content.

Most importantly Echobox will be there for us when we need it most,
after losing someone we love. The sound of their voice. Their favourite
songs. The magic and memories of years gone by. A compilation of
everything that has brought a smile to their face, as described in their
own words. We can listen to Grandpa’s directions to a secret fishing
spot, or choose a treat from Grandma’s recipe list to bake for dessert!
Maybe curl up and watch one of Mom’s all-time favourite movies or read
some of Dad’s crazy stories from his childhood! These experiences carry
incredible emotional value and offer us a way to remember friends and
family with love, light and laughter.
