The ElliQ companion robot can now send health updates to a caregiver


It’s available today.

Originally, the bobblehead-esque animatronic was mainly a friendly looking Amazon Alexa-like voice assistant designed to offer companionship to seniors living alone. For example, if the robot detects an elderly parent hasn’t slept well or is feeling sick, ElliQ will send alerts to the caregiver. Caregivers can set personalized care goals that ElliQ will promote at home and receive other “proactive updates powered by AI-driven insights.” Basically, it’s like having a “friend” keeping you up to date about your loved one — without requiring you to physically check in.
