Voice Assistant and Companion for the Elderly

Sponsored by: Joey the Companion

 

Abstract
Joey the Companion Robot is an elderly companion device that makes every day socialization and mental health self-care simpler. Joey aids users in socialization by providing email notifications to remind them to keep in contact with their loved ones. Joey also checks in with the user and asks them how they are feeling. If the user reports that they feel unhappy or lonely, Joey provides them with motivational quotes in order to help inspire them and improve their mood. Community Benefit: Loneliness is a disease and our robot helps its users feel like they have someone there for them every day.
