We are kicking off April with what is top of mind for everyone – how AI (artificial intelligence) is affecting and changing aging and caregiving. We have two experts in this area: Lawrence Kosick, Co-Founder of Get Set Up and Dor Skuler, Founder and CEO of Intuition Robotics, makers of ElliQ. They talk about how they are using AI to help both older adults and caregivers make managing health easier and more personalized. In our Caregiver Wellness News, we focus on April as National Stress Awareness Month and Sherri shares the latest on the Tik Tok trend, “cortisol face” and what caregivers should know. Sherri also talks about a new way to measure cortisol and stress in the workplace using saliva being tested with Cleveland Clinic employees. And new insights from a recent report from United Church Homes and MIT AgeLab on how caregivers feel about AI and managing care for their older loved one. For our Well Home Design News, we put the spotlight on April's National Parkinson's Awareness Month and the research that is identifying “parkinson's clusters” – geographic areas with extremely high prevalence for Parkinsons's disease – Sherri talks about what you should know about environmental factors and other risks as well as the signs of Parkinson's – some of which may surprise you. Also, Sherri shares a new report from the National Alliance for Caregiving and the Michel J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research – the first-ever study of caregivers of those with Parkinson's disease. One solution for these Parkinson's caregivers and all caregivers is a training platform from Trualta that helps caregivers up-skilll and learn techniques that help them on their caregiving journey. They share results of more than 3 million minutes caregivers have spent on their platform and what they are saying.

Our avid readers may remember my review of the ElliQ by Intuition Robotics. ElliQ is a robot designed to help the aging population live healthier and happier. That's how I'd describe my father-in-law's experience with ElliQ. The robot has become part of the family and created a great connection between my father-in-law and myself.While at the CES conference, I had a chance to sit down with Dor Skuler, CEO and Founder at Intuition Robotics, to talk about the latest with ElliQ. The interview was a lot of fun because along with covering the industry, I'm now a real use of ElliQ. Plus, it was exciting to hear about the new family and caregiver features they were building into the ElliQ app.Learn more about Intuition Robotics: https://www.intuitionrobotics.com/Health IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/
Loneliness, which affects how long people live, is at epidemic levels. Social isolation is not confined to the elderly, although the anxiety caused by feeling alone is borne especially hard by older people. Could artificial intelligence help? Dor Skuler, co-founder of Intuition Robotics, joined us to explain that AI-driven technology could be part of the solution. The company has developed ElliQ, an AI companion that keeps people company at home through conversations and activities that connect with the outside world.Additional details and show notesDISCOUNTSFlexbeam Red Light therapyA wearable red light therapy device which targets key parts of the body to improve sleep, treat injuries and sooth aches and pains associated with aging.

Intuition Robotics is a company that has created an AI-driven companion named ElliQ. This innovative product is designed to combat feelings of loneliness and social isolation in older adults. It aims to promote health and activity, supporting seniors as they continue to live independently.AI companion for elderly adultsLoneliness among the elderly is a significant issue in the country. It has been declared a public health crisis by the Surgeon General of the United States, as it surpasses obesity and drug abuse as the leading cause of death among older adults. It is emphasized that there is a shortage of young people who can spend quality time with the elderly on a daily basis.The impact of loneliness on the health of elderly individuals is immense. Loneliness can have detrimental effects on physical and mental well-being, and it is often underestimated. The story of a customer whose husband passed away after 65 years of marriage is shared to illustrate the profound impact of loneliness. ElliQ's ability to greet her, compliment her appearance, and encourage her to go out and be socially active has transformed her life, giving her a reason to get dressed and engage with the world.Intuition Robotics recognized the potential for technology to address this issue and created ElliQ as a solution. However, they wanted their product to be more than just a monitoring device or a prompt-based AI assistant like Alexa. They aimed to create a true friend and companion for the elderly. To achieve this, the device spends material amounts of time with the older adult, remembers past conversations, initiates conversations, and helps the individual achieve their own goals towards healthier aging and social connectivity.Unlike prompt-driven AI, ElliQ actively engages in conversations and prompts the individual for information and action. It classifies and remembers conversations, using them to create future interactions. For example, it may ask about sleep quality, remind the individual of previous pain, and suggest breathing exercises. It can also take physical or digital actions, such as creating tailored stress reduction exercises or arranging video conferences with loved ones or healthcare professionals.ElliQ versus wearablesWearables can be a great way to track health statistics in kids and adults. However, older adults are less likely to wear these devices, partially because they are unaccustomed to them and partially because they might simply forget to put them on.While ElliQ is not a wearable device itself, it can be seen in a comparable place in the sense that it interacts with the user and provides a physical presence. Nevertheless, the hope is that as wearables have become more popular among younger people, ElliQ can provide similar capabilities for older people while adding the benefit of a companion's personality.A powerful but affordable companionOne might assume that an AI-enabled robot like ElliQ would come with a high price tag. However, CEO Dor Skuler reveals that ElliQ is surprisingly affordable, with a monthly charge between $50 and $60. This makes it accessible to a wider range of individuals and families who are seeking a solution to combat loneliness among their elderly loved ones.The affordability of ElliQ is further enhanced by the fact that many local state and government organizations are funding the product. In certain areas, such as New York and most counties in Florida, ElliQ can be obtained for free, paid for by agencies like the Office for the Aging. Additionally, Medicare and Medicaid companies are also distributing ElliQ to their population, recognizing the positive impact it can have on mental health and overall well-being.Conclusion: ElliQ can help older adults feel less lonelyIn summary, AI-enabled robots like ElliQ have been shown to effectively alleviate loneliness among the elderly. The importance of tackling this issue is underscored, and the cost-effectiveness and easy accessibility of ElliQ are high. ElliQ offers more than just assistance; it provides companionship, support, and a proactive presence, becoming a genuine friend and confidant for older adults. Through its interactions and features, ElliQ not only enhances mental well-being but also has the potential to positively influence physical health and overall life quality for the elderly.

In this episode of Lives of Tomorrow, Dor Skuler, CEO and co-founder of Intuition Robotics, joins WGSN CEO Carla Buzasi to discuss the future of aged care, and how AI can play a part.How much do we think about care for the elderly, and what questions are we asking about how we will care for the elderly in the future? To address this social issue, Dor's company launched award-winning proactive social robot ElliQ. The AI tech robot focuses exclusively on older adults who are living alone, and acts as a companion to offer support and connection.Dor is serial entrepreneur who has co-founded five ventures – the most recent being IntuitionRobotics. The company is driven by his passion to develop AI robotics that can address major social issues of the 21st century, such as loneliness. In addition to discussing the value of AI in aged care, he also discusses the ethics of the technology in this episode.
Artificial intelligence – it's not new and it's here to stay. In recent years, with artificial intelligence or AI applications like Siri, Alexa, and ChatGPT making the news, the role of artificial intelligence in everyday life has become a topic of deep discussion and debate - whether that be in education, the arts, or healthcare. Hosts Drs. Allison Sekuler and Rosanne Aleong chat with guests Dr. Muhammad Mamdani and Dor Skuler about the basics of AI, how it is being applied to the health of Canadians, and what opportunities are available in the aging space.
There's been so much talk of AI of late. I think when ChatGPT came on the scene towards the end of 2022, it inspired so much curiosity and concern. And of course, intangible AI has the potential to be hugely impactful—but what about when you combine the power of AI with robotics? Does that become even more exciting or more terrifying to you?To help illuminate the topic, I wanted to turn to Dor Skuler. He's the co-founder and CEO of Intuition Robotics. The company's award-winning product, ElliQ, is a proactive care companion for older adults. His company has won several awards for its work with ElliQ including Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies and the CES Best of Innovation award.

Until the middle of the 20th century, most American workers didn't have the opportunity to plan for a long and fruitful retirement. But as life expectancy increased, government and employer policies changed and retirement communities developed, retirement at age 65 became another ritual of American life.Now as Americans live even longer, healthier lives, senior citizens are revolutionizing this facet of modern existence. Some choose to work into their 70s while others pursue new activities and learning opportunities. Though change might bring challenges as more seniors stay in the workforce, new ways of thinking around age and new technologies offer different approaches to community and connection. Join Walter Isaacson and guests as they rethink life after 65.Featuring Andy Achenbaum, Joe Coughlin, Chip Conley, Katie McCamant and Dor Skuler.

Techstination interview: Intuition Robotics #ElliQ companion robot: CEO Dor Skuler
It's hard enough to make a functional, reliable robot. Many people also want to make those robots in our image. That's a tough needle to thread. Often, the most efficient design isn't the most human-like one. But that isn't stopping us from reaching for those humanoid robots. Professor Shigeki Sugano argues in favor of creating human-shaped robots. But it's such an enduring challenge, we've come up with a name for it: the uncanny valley. Evan Ackerman walks us through the uncanny valley's treacherous terrain. Deanna Dezern shares how she's connected to her robot companion. And Dor Skuler explains how he deliberately avoided making his robots look like humans.If you want to read up on some of our research on humanoid robots, you can check out all our bonus material over at redhat.com/commandlineheroes.

Each year, the tech industry Super Bowl that is the Consumer Electronic Show takes over Las Vegas in a display of enough futuristic innovation, gadgetry and wizardry to blow the circuits and make a believer of even the most resolute luddite. The name “Consumer Electronics Show” feels a little outdated, hinting at the Betamax player that was never hooked up. In reality, the convention feels more and more like it is sponsored by lightworkers from another dimension. Certainly, the ideas that will drive consumer change in the technology sphere are debuted here, and on this show floor what was once a dream begins to become reality. More than 4,400 companies exhibit on the show floor, walked by over 182,000 attendees from 160 countries. From a glass toaster and “egg whisperer” that tells you which eggs are oldest, to digital sleep aids that retrain your brain, and of course to TV’s the size of your garage door, CES delivers astounding gizmos of every size. For Toyota, the mission as CES is a little more serious: Innovations in autonomous driving, alternative fuel cell technologies, plus the range of mobility solutions currently in development give Toyota a strong slate of news on the floor. It’s our chance to offer a glimpse of the technologies that will change society and define the future – and here at Toyota, we like to stay on the cutting edge of this revolution. But it’s not just about the stuff, cool as it is. As Toyota’s Executive Vice President of sales, Bob Carter, said on stage at CES, “even though new technology is important, what matters is how it serves society. And that’s why our global president Akio Toyoda wants our company to transition from an automobile company to a mobility company, pursuing mobility for all.” So today, we’re not just looking at cars – we’re looking at the future of mobility, which in some cases, is actually already here. That’s why we started something called Toyota AI Ventures, which is Toyota's first dedicated venture capital fund. It’s a $100M fund that was founded in July 2017, and it's focused on investing in early-stage companies that are focusing on artificial intelligence, data, and the cloud, as applied to autonomous mobility and robotics. So, we look for entrepreneurs that are bringing disruptive business models and innovative technologies to the marketplace, and give them the resources they need to bring forth the future of mobility. Today’s guests are part of Toyota AI Ventures and join us from the show floor to offer a glimpse of this future: Toyota AI Ventures CEO Jim Adler, Intuition Robotics CEO and co-founder Dor Skuler, and May Mobility CEO and co-founder Ed Olson. We’re also joined by special guest and co-host Austin Evans, a tech influencer who’s been at this longer than the idea of being a tech influencer or YouTuber have existed. Austin posted his first tech video in 2007 and now has over 3.6 million subscribers on YouTube. To kick off our CES special, let’s sit down with Austin to learn more about what his world is like and the trends he’s seen at CES over the past 9 years.
