The challenge
Many elder individuals lack companionship and opportunities to share their thoughts and feelings, leading to affections of loneliness and isolation. Especially given the aging population and family members are having busier lives, the phenomenon of social and emotional loneliness is increasingly common. Family members who lack opportunities to spend time with their senior relatives also lack insights into their daily lives and wellbeing. It is important for them to have a means of connecting to their elder in a way that aligns with the demands of contemporary living.
The solution
We aim to create a cuddly companion incorporating advanced AI voice interaction technology for companionship that elder individuals could talk to and interact with. We strive to achieve a friendly, non-judgmental listener that offers active response.
