Evaluation of an artificial intelligence in-home medical alert device for older adults

Project Outline:

Elderly Woman Drinking Coffee Outside Australia’s population is aging, and services and products that enable older adults to remain living independently and safely in their own homes are needed.

Neo Care is a SA Biotech Start up, which has designed a virtual assistant (“Neo”) that can detect over 250 domestic sounds associated with serious events (e.g. moaning, thud, glass breaking), perform triaging, and summons assistance when needed.

Partnering with them, we are leading a rigorous evaluation of Neo in South Australian households.

This technology may change the future of care for the aging, providing people, and their families, with ongoing support and security to live independently.
