ElderVoice
An AI companion that calls seniors daily to check in, remind them of medications, chat, and alert family to safety issues.
What is ElderVoice?
ElderVoice is an AI-powered companionship service designed to make daily phone calls to elderly loved ones. It regularly checks in, reminds seniors to take their medications, and engages in friendly conversation while remembering personal details to make every interaction feel natural and personalized. If it detects any concerning situations, it instantly sends safety alerts to family members.
Who is it for and how to use it
For seniors living alone or whose children live far away, consistent daily care is often what's needed most. ElderVoice uses telephone calls—a medium familiar to seniors with zero learning curve—requiring no apps or screen navigation; they simply answer the phone to interact. It is ideal for busy families who cannot check in daily, as well as remote children wanting peace of mind. Through daily check-ins and safety alerts, families can stay informed of potential issues. Please note that it serves as a supportive tool for care and reminders and cannot replace emergency medical care or hands-on assistance. True emergencies still require local emergency services and family intervention.
