Digital friend for people over 60: how ElliQ fights loneliness

Every 6th elderly American spends most of the day in complete solitude. These are millions of people for whom a conversation with a living person becomes a rarity. ElliQ comes to the rescue – a digital companion based on artificial intelligence, created specifically for people over 60 years old.

Unlike conventional voice assistants, ElliQ itself initiates communication. It doesn’t just answer questions, but behaves like a real roommate. Offers activities, inquires about your well-being, reminds of important matters. Morning with ElliQ begins with a greeting and a plan for the day, and in the evening, it will help you relax and tune in to healthy sleep.

The feature of this system is that it remembers your preferences and gradually adapts its suggestions. Told ElliQ about your love for classical music? Next time it will suggest listening to a new concert. Mentioned grandchildren? It will suggest when it would be convenient to call them.

ElliQ’s functionality covers several key areas of life. For maintaining intellectual activity, various games, virtual trips to world landmarks are available. And even the creation of poems and pictures with the help of artificial intelligence. For social connections, video calls to loved ones, photo sharing, and even online bingo with other ElliQ users are provided.

The system will also remind you to take medications, suggest videos with exercises to improve balance and strength, conduct sessions of breathing practices and meditation. ElliQ also helps track your health indicators, creating a holistic picture of your well-being.

The developers emphasize that ElliQ is not a replacement for human communication, but a supplement to it. The system is created for people who live independently and spend most of their time at home. The intuitive interface does not require technical skills – setup is simple. And interaction occurs through voice commands and a screen.
