About
ElliQ is an advanced AI companion robot built for seniors and older adults who want to maintain independence, stay connected, and age healthily at home. Powered by adaptive AI, ElliQ learns user preferences over time to deliver increasingly personalized interactions — from daily conversation and trivia games to virtual tours and music playback. On the health and wellness side, ElliQ proactively reminds users about medications, tracks pain levels, suggests gentle exercises, and offers a structured Wellness Program designed for long-term mental and physical wellbeing. Users can log health data daily, while caregivers receive updates and alerts to monitor their loved ones remotely. For social connection, ElliQ facilitates photo sharing, messages, and community activities like group Bingo and Virtual Tours with other ElliQ members across the country — combating loneliness with real human-like engagement. In emergencies, ElliQ can call family members or caregivers on command. Peer-reviewed research backs its effectiveness: 96% of users report improved health and wellness, 94% experience a better quality of life, and 73% feel more connected to their community. ElliQ has been featured in The New York Times, CBS News, WIRED, and The Verge. It is ideal for seniors living alone, adult children concerned about aging parents, and healthcare providers looking for scalable remote care solutions.
