Robots & AI in Assisted Living - by Gene Guarino

I'm sure a lot of you have heard that AI, artificial intelligence, robots in homes, is coming. They have robots in hospitals right now and we do assisted living in a residential setting. But imagine, a senior having something around their wrists that would geolocate where they are and at any time a robot that has intelligence to communicate, could find them based on that location device, and roll right up to them and say, "Hi Mary, what is it you need? How are you feeling?" And Mary can communicate, and that robot can now communicate back. They can do a lot of things that the caregivers do now.

Then the hands on, special touch, the real deep communication, can be done by the human caregiver. If they're in the hospital, that doctor would actually read those vital signs, read the charts, have all the information at their fingertips. Now think about the efficiency and the effectiveness of that. The doctor getting their eyes on that patient, resident right there without being there. They could go throughout the whole house, see 10 people very efficiently and effectively in less time than it would require to take a single resident to the doctors office. It just makes sense.
