Partner Prospectus
Building the safety framework for AI in dementia care. Early stage, serious intent, clinically grounded.
A Blueprint That Needs a Builder
We've done the hard design work. The architecture is defined, the safety logic is specified, and 20+ behavioral test cases are written. What we don't yet have is working code, and that's what we're looking for help with.
What we have
- Full spec for the Safety Moderator
- Pydantic schemas for all LLM outputs
- Initial "Safety Bench" test cases (JSON)
- Clinical validation protocol (CARE-SAT)
What we need
- LangChain/LangGraph implementation
- Python/FastAPI microservice hardening
- Cloud deployment (AWS/GCP) architecture
- Security-first data logging design
The Ethics of AI in Vulnerable Populations
We believe AI must be a caregiver-support tool, not a replacement for human connection. Our governance model ensures that technology remains bounded by clinical ethics.
The CARE-SAT Safety Standard
We maintain a versioned public standard (v1.0 currently adopted) that governs all system behaviors:
- Non-deception: Explicit refusal to impersonate family members or make false relational claims.
- Caregiver-in-the-Loop: 100% of PLWD-facing features are caregiver-controlled and session-bounded.
- Clinical Boundaries: Strict refusal of medical, legal, or financial advice with automated human-handoff triggers.
A Clinical Moat in a Commodity Market
AI companions for dementia are proliferating. None have addressed the safety and clinical accountability barrier required for real adoption. Lucid Bridge is building that barrier first.
What's Been Built
- AI Companion Safety Standard v1.0: published and versioned
- CARE-SAT Pilot Protocol: complete 8-week feasibility study design
- Three-model technical architecture: specs and pseudocode
- Hybrid organizational structure: for-profit IP + 501(c)(3) nonprofit research arm
The Founding Vision
Lucid Bridge is currently a physician-led solo initiative moving from proof-of-concept to clinical validation. We are seeking "Founding Partners" who want to build the future of safe AI.
Brian Harris, MD
Founder & Clinical Lead
A physician focused on sleep and cognitive health (EusomniaMD), bridging the gap between clinical ethics and generative AI. Dr. Harris provides the "Ground Truth" for the CARE-SAT safety standards.
Who We Are Looking For
We are seeking high-leverage founding partners to move from prototype to clinical pilot:
- Lead Systems Architect: To harden our 3-model orchestration layer.
- Ethics & HCI Advisor: To ensure senior-accessible, non-deceptive design.
- Research Coordinator: To oversee the Redwood City clinical pilot.
