Episode 25. How a family album led me to create After Cloud to help others memorialise their life story, with Darren Evans The Hope-Makers

Darren Evans speaks with me about how his work in health care innovation and experience of a family bereavement led to a question from his 11-year old son which would result in the development of an innovative digital platform to help other people memorialise their life story.

I don't know about you, but I have family photo albums which contain pictures of people I never met, whose stories have been lost. It was the experience of looking through a family album and not having the stories to contextualise the photos which led Darren's son to ask him if he could create a way to help other families capture their stories, before there is nobody with living memories of them left.

This idea is the basis of After Cloud, a digital platform that enables people to memorialise their life by uploading a range of media, videos, photos, pictures etc to help keep the stories alive after they are gone. Not surprisingly the conversation I have with Darren is as ever wide ranging, and we touch on grief, attitudes to death and technology.
