Homecare Pilot
Care for those with MND
Summary: We're launching a pilot project aimed at improving home care for people with Motor Neuron Disease (MND) using advanced AI technology. This initiative is about finding new ways to support individuals with severe disabilities.
We are launching a pilot project aimed at improving home care for people with Motor Neuron Disease (MND) using advanced AI technology. This initiative is about finding new ways to support individuals with severe disabilities.
In collaboration with Lenovo, we've tested our AI system in real-world settings, such as at 321 Coffee, where it has helped employees with disabilities work more independently. This experience has shown us the potential benefits of integrating AI into everyday tasks.
The pilot will introduce the AI system to a small group of homes affected by MND. Over four months, we'll tailor the system to meet specific needs, using feedback to make improvements. Our goal is to provide homes with smart technology, including an AI hub, smart cameras, and sensors, to offer personalized care and support.
We expect the project to enhance the quality of life for participants by supporting daily routines, detecting distress signals, and encouraging healthy habits. This pilot will help us understand how the technology can be adapted for a broader audience.
By focusing on user feedback, we aim to ensure the AI meets the needs of those with severe disabilities. The project is an important step in exploring how technology can improve care settings like elder care and disability support.
We're in the early stages and excited to explore the possibilities this project holds. Our goal is to use technology to bridge gaps in care, helping individuals live with more independence and dignity.
