ElliQ maker Intuition Robotics launches AI system to support caregivers helping the elderly
Intuition Roboticscreators of the award-winning companion robot ElliQ AI, announced a new ElliQ solution to help caregivers.
It is a complete AI-powered system designed to assist caregivers and provide essential care for the elderly. Intuition Robotics already provides AI companions that can deal with older adults with issues like social isolation. The company is part of AgeTech trend where tech entrepreneurs come together for the cause of creating technology for seniors.
The solution has two key components: the AI-powered ElliQ companion robot and the Caregiver app for remote management and monitoring of care. Together, these tools create a holistic system that allows caregivers to be informed, connected, and actively engaged in caring for their loved ones, even from afar.
With 48 million adults in the United States providing unpaid care to another adult, caregivers can now bring an AI companion into a loved one’s home. Many of these caregivers are pressured, meaning they care for both elderly parents and children.
Along with supporting seniors to stay active, healthy and engaged, ElliQ also enables caregivers to manage care remotely, enjoy greater peace of mind and focus on meaningful quality time.
The ElliQ Caregiver solution aims to ease the burden on caregivers while increasing the independence and well-being of the elderly. Caregivers gain peace of mind through features that allow them to track their loved ones’ health and activity, set personalized care goals that are encouraged by ElliQ at home, and receive proactive updates powered by AI-driven insights.
ElliQ, the AI robot at the heart of this solution, serves as both a companion and care assistant, providing daily support to seniors and alerting caregivers to significant changes in health or behavior. This ensures that caregivers can manage care effectively even when they cannot be physically present.
Studies show that over 60% of caregivers experience burnout, compounded by spending an average of 26% of their personal income on caregiving costs. Many are also reducing their hours or leaving the workforce altogether, resulting in a significant loss of income and reduced retirement savings. Unlike stand-alone apps, ElliQ’s holistic approach focuses on the entire care network for older adults, using AI to optimize interactions and provide meaningful support.
By automating routine monitoring, care management and communication, ElliQ allows caregivers to make room to build emotional connections with their loved ones instead of being consumed by logistical tasks. This innovative system makes caregiving a more fulfilling experience, allowing caregivers to focus on what matters most.
The ElliQ Caregiver solution represents a breakthrough in aging and remote care, providing a vital resource for caregivers and seniors alike. With this launch, Intuition Robotics continues its mission to revolutionize the way we approach aging by empowering caregivers and promoting senior independence.
“Service workers are the invisible backbone of our economy…yet they are often overworked, undersupported and neglected,” Alexandra Drain, chief executive of Archangles, said in a statement. “We understood and appreciated what ElliQ is doing to help this population get the resources they need to thrive. Supporting the nearly one in two of us who work as unpaid carers isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s a no-brainer.’
“Previously, ElliQ had a proven track record as a companion for the elderly. Now it’s also an essential tool for caregivers, providing updates, connection and proactive support,” Dor Skular, CEO of Intuition Robotics, said in a statement. “We are proud to bring the power of AI to caregivers. Our latest solution will help ease the stress of caregivers by offering a solution that keeps them informed and engaged, while empowering their loved ones to live more independently with AI living in a caregiver.”
