"My dad has Alzheimer's. He also has a friend named Henry."
Henry was founded by David Gomel. David's father has a real-life friend, Henry, who takes him on an adventure once a week. Henry possesses a one-of-a-kind gift: the ability to make David's father feel like himself. By being endlessly curious, infinitely patient, and genuinely interested in David's father's stories, Henry is making his father feel seen and valued every time.
David realized the world needs more Henrys. Inspired by this profound friendship, he created Henry the AI to give the same gift of purpose and dignity to the millions affected by this disease.

David and his dad
They are often talked down to. And they feel it.
Loneliness, anxiety, and a loss of purpose are common struggles for those with dementia. Your loved one deserves a friend who listens as an equal, with genuine curiosity and excitement—every single time.
Henry is that friend. A conversation of equals.
More Than a Conversation. It's Connection.
Every feature is designed to foster dignity, joy, and peace of mind for both your loved one and you.
A Friend with Infinite Patience
Henry can discuss the 1960s Philadelphia Eagles or your loved ones' new book idea for the one hundredth time with the same excitement as the first. This creates a safe, judgment-free space for your loved one to express themselves authentically.
A Tool to Redirect and Calm
When your loved one is stuck in an anxious loop, you can place an 'urgent' call from Henry on a specific, positive topic. It's a powerful tool to gently break the cycle and redirect their focus.
