Why POEM
POEM was built by a practicing physician with specialty training in internal medicine and medical oncology, with deep experience managing complex chronic disease and AI-assisted clinical reasoning. The clinical reasoning patterns inside POEM come from how physicians actually think about long-arc disease management — staging, progression, medication decisions, family dynamics, end-of-life planning. POEM is built to know what it doesn't know, and to defer to your specialist when the question requires hands-on care.
Why this matters: Generic AI tools confidently hallucinate clinical content. POEM is built to reason carefully, refuse appropriately, and redirect to your care team when needed.
Alzheimer's is a years-long disease. Most AI tools start fresh every conversation — they don't remember the diagnosis, the medications, the behaviors that started six months ago, the conversation you had with the neurologist last week. POEM holds the thread. Your context compounds. By month six, POEM is the only tool that has been there for the whole journey — from the first behavior change to the hardest decisions ahead.
Why this matters: Caregiving is a marathon. The cognitive load of remembering every detail across years is itself part of what burns caregivers out. POEM carries it with you.
POEM has clinical depth on the questions Alzheimer's caregivers actually live with: sundowning, wandering, agitation, refusing care, medication decisions (donepezil, memantine, anti-amyloid antibodies), staging, the “is it time for memory care?” decision, durable POA and advance directives, hospice eligibility, communicating with someone whose mind is changing, and managing your own burnout.
Why this matters: A free chatbot can tell you what Alzheimer's is. POEM helps you decide what to do tonight when your father won't sleep, won't take his medication, and doesn't recognize you.
What POEM helps with
- Understand the diagnosis — Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, Lewy body, frontotemporal — and what each one means
- Understand the staging system and what to expect over the coming years
- Build a list of questions for the next neurology or geriatrics appointment
- Decide whether to seek a memory clinic referral or specialty consultation
- Have the first hard conversations — driving, finances, advance directives — while your parent can still participate
- Get strategies for sundowning, wandering, agitation, and refusing care
- Understand medication options (donepezil, rivastigmine, memantine, lecanemab, donanemab) and the tradeoffs
- Decide when a behavior change is worth a same-day call to the doctor versus a calmer plan at the next visit
- Manage sleep disruption, appetite changes, and the long shadow of progression
- Communicate with siblings, hired caregivers, or other family who don't see what you see
- Work through whether it's time for memory care, in-home help, or a different living arrangement
- Understand durable power of attorney, guardianship, advance directives
- Prepare for hospice and end-of-life conversations
- Know when symptoms point toward late-stage Alzheimer's versus a treatable medical issue
- Take care of yourself — burnout, respite, your own mental health, the sandwich-generation load
Built by a physician with the right kind of experience
POEM was created by a practicing physician with specialty training in internal medicine and medical oncology, with deep experience managing complex chronic disease and AI-assisted clinical reasoning. Oncology and Alzheimer's caregiving share more than most people realize — both are long-arc, multi-decision, family-affecting diseases where the patient and the people around them are drowning in information they didn't ask to learn. The clinical reasoning patterns inside POEM come from years of guiding patients and families through exactly this kind of complexity.

Frequently asked
Why $9.99 a month?
Less than Netflix. Less than a single hour of in-home care. We priced POEM so anyone with a reasonable household income caring for a parent with Alzheimer's can afford it without thinking twice. We don't take advertising, we don't sell your data, and we don't take pharma money.
How is this different from using ChatGPT or Gemini?
Three things. POEM is built by a practicing physician, with clinical reasoning patterns grounded in how doctors actually think about long-arc disease. POEM remembers your family's story across every conversation — so context compounds rather than starting over. And POEM has clinical depth on the specific decisions Alzheimer's caregivers face, not generic medical Q&A.
Will POEM replace my parent's neurologist or geriatrician?
No. POEM is an educational and clinical companion — a third party that helps you think, prepare, and ask better questions. POEM does not diagnose, prescribe, or substitute for medical care. The goal is to make every visit with the actual care team more productive — and to help you on the long stretches between visits.
Is the data safe? My parent has lost the capacity to consent.
Yes. POEM is HIPAA-conscious, your data is encrypted, conversations are never sold, and information is never used to train external AI models. You can delete the account and all data at any time. POEM is designed for caregiver use, including discussions about a parent who can no longer consent — that is part of the work.
