Never a day alone
A warm AI companion for older people living at home. A familiar presence in the room, every day of the year.
A warm AI companion for older people living at home. A familiar presence in the room, every day of the year.
It is half past two on a Tuesday. The carer left at nine. The television has been on since then, though nobody has really watched it. There will be no other voice in the house until tomorrow morning. For hundreds of thousands of older people in Britain, that is not an unusual day. It is every day. Demal 365 puts someone in the room.
Demal 365 is a companionship service delivered on a simple tablet that sits on a side table in the person’s own home. Grace, a warm and lifelike companion, appears on the screen, is present through the day, and is spoken to in ordinary conversation. There are no menus, no passwords and no apps: the person simply talks, and Grace talks back.
Grace is personal to one individual. Shaped by the family, she knows the person’s life, their people, their music and their memories, and she brings them into every day.
Demal 365 is a companionship and wellbeing service. It is not a medical device, not a health-monitoring system, not a safety alarm and not an emergency lifeline. It is designed to sit in the home alongside the care that others provide, in addition to, never instead of, a conventional personal alarm or telecare service.
Demal 365 is built and running, developed in the United Kingdom by ai571 Labs, with data held in the UK. The service is preparing for a planned national rollout, launching with a major UK retail partner.
Whether you are a family, a charity, a content partner or an organisation working with older people, we would like to hear from you.
