92-Year-Old Florida Retiree Launches ALMA: An AI Caring Companion App to Help
Seniors Protect from Fraud, and Live Independently
At 92 years young, Mike Forrest, a longtime resident of Florida, now residing in an over-55 community, has turned personal experience into innovation.
After watching friends struggle with isolation, memory lapses, unavailable caregiver
support, forgotten medications, unpaid bills, and constant assault from scammers and attempted
fraud, Mike founded ALMA (Assisting Livability for Mature Adults), a free, voice-first
interactive AI companion app designed for seniors, veterans, and the socially disadvantaged.
ALMA lives on your smartphone and becomes a trusted friend: holding natural, context-aware
conversations, protecting you from scammers, connecting with family/caregivers when needed,
and remembering important details you share, reminding you of appointments, medications, and
bills, adapting to your mood, and building a genuine bond over time. Unlike generic assistants or
expensive hardware devices, ALMA prioritizes privacy with no information sold, shared, or used
for advertising.
"Too many of my friends and neighbors are losing their independence because daily life and our
physical limitations have become overwhelming," said Mike. "I wanted something simple,
affordable, and easy to use, something that feels like talking to a caring friend who never forgets.
ALMA does that, and it's free so every senior and any veteran who wants can use it."
WHAT ALMA DOES NOW
● Voice First – No typing, no small print, natural conversations
● Evolving Memory – Remembers names, moods, preferences, events
● Smart Reminders – Meds, appointments, bills, calm and timely
● Privacy by Design – Your conversations are never sold or used to advertise to you
● TSOS Alerts – Two tap or spoken distress alerts family or caregiver instantly
● ALMA Guard – Detection and protection from scams and fraud
ALMA is now available for a limited number of seniors and veterans to try Visit

Mike and the ALMA team are actively seeking partnerships with senior living communities,

adults.
