A virtual assistant that provides support and companionship to older adults in order to combat unwanted loneliness

ImatgeLeionHey min

AiMA is a virtual assistant designed to accompany older adults with the goal of combating unwanted loneliness. Its function complements the support provided by professionals and family members, offering an active and always accessible tool.

Users can access AiMA through an app compatible with smartphones, tablets, or televisions, and generally any device with an Internet connection. Its technology is based on generative artificial intelligence models, which provide it with a high degree of autonomy, as it does not require constant access to external databases. Additionally, AiMA can adjust its behavior and tone to match the personality of each user.

This virtual assistant is programmed to remember information from previous conversations, such as names, faces, and images, to ensure smooth and natural communication with the user. Moreover, its empathetic and friendly tone positively impacts the emotional well-being of the older adults it interacts with.
