AI Powered Robot Homes Would Reduce Covid Deaths in Nursing Homes

Technology can support residents and staff in meaningful ways while contributing to the bottom line at the same time!

That’s the takeaway from the recent Senior Housing News webinar entitled: Technology in Senior Living: Friend or Foe? More than 250 senior living professionals signed up for the recent webinar which can be viewed in its entirety on YouTube.

Participants in the webinar included:

• John Cochrane, President & CEO of Human Good
• Dr. Ashutosh Saxena, President & Founder of Caspar.AI
• Sloan Bentley, President & CEO of Lutheran Life Communities

The senior living business is currently experiencing several pain points that have been heightened by the pandemic, including:
* Lower occupancy in apartments
* Harder to find & retain qualified staff
* Continuing isolation of residents
* Manage expenses in light of declining revenue
* Ability to reengage family members of residents

What will be the source of pain relief?

MarketWatch, May 4, 2021. Caspar.AI uses the whole home as a sensor – already existing elements like sensors on switches and appliances. From automated control of lights, shades and temperature to more complex tasks such as fall detection, the Caspar system works without cameras and without “wearables” such as resident pendants.

Forbes, March 1, 2021. We have seen a rapid increase in the adoption of technology by Americans over the age of 65, and as prospects seek retirement communities, they’ll look for those that offer the latest technology, giving them comfort and peace of mind. Developers, owners and managers of communities need to be ready to answer the demand.

Caspar.AI is currently featured in a White Paper from Senior Housing news. This document presents how Caspar.AI delivers resident safety, wellness and comfort while providing communities with a suite of AI management tools. Touch-free technology turns the resident apartment into a caregiver.

Distributed AI (D-AI) is enabling rapid progress on smart IoT systems, homes, and cities. D-AI refers to any AI system with discrete AI subsystems that can be combined to create ensemble-intelligences. We introduce a Privacy-Preserving IoT Cloud (PPIC) optimized to host D-AI applications on the edge.

Covid has exposed just how vulnerable seniors are who live in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Caspar.AI’s vision is to fundamentally change how seniors are in their homes and how assisted living facilities are run.
