About
NYSOFA is working with Intuition Robotics to test the efficacy of AI companion technology for older adults, known as ElliQ. ElliQ is designed to foster independence and provide support for older adults through daily check-ins, assistance with wellness goals and physical activities, and more using voice commands and/or on-screen instructions. ElliQ is proactive and personalized: it initiates conversation, suggests activities, and remembers what users tell it. ElliQ encourages and works with users to set and help achieve goals. It is designed to convey empathy to create trust and drive engagement and behavior change.
A limited number of ElliQ units is available, only in participating counties/offices and subject to the availability of funding.
