ElliQ - the sidekick for happier aging
A social companion robot for older adults
ElliQ is an AI-powered social robot for older adults, working every day to keep them active and engaged by proactively suggesting engaging activities and making it simple to connect with loved ones.
ElliQ seamlessly connects users with family and friends and make it easy for them to take full advantage of the latest online content and services without complexity and frustration. Along the way, it adapts to the personality and interests of each individual senior, so it can recommend digital content they may enjoy such as news, music, TED talks and cognitive games.
Communicating through body language, speech, sounds, light and images, it also suggests activities in the physical outside world such as taking a walk, taking medicine or just calling family members.
ElliQ has successfully been testing with beta users aged 62-97 in the Bay Area, California during 2018, now available for pre-order.
