About
ElliQ is an AI-powered companion robot developed by Intuition Robotics, specifically engineered to help seniors and older adults age healthfully and independently at home. Unlike generic smart assistants, ElliQ is purpose-built for the unique physical, cognitive, and social needs of older adults, combining advanced conversational AI with proactive health and wellness tools. The robot engages users throughout the day with personalized conversations, medication reminders, health and pain tracking, and gentle exercise suggestions. Its Wellness Program provides structured, ongoing guidance for long-term mental and physical wellbeing. ElliQ also facilitates social connection by enabling photo and message sharing with family members and caregivers, and hosts community activities like virtual Bingo and group tours with other ElliQ members worldwide. For entertainment, ElliQ plays favorite music, shares personalized news and stories, and offers trivia games to keep every day engaging and uplifting. Over time, the device learns individual user preferences, becoming increasingly personalized and attuned to each member's emotional state. ElliQ's impact is validated by peer-reviewed research: 96% of users report improved health and wellness, 73% feel more connected to friends and community, and 94% experience an improvement in overall quality of life. On average, users interact with ElliQ 60 times per day. Caregivers receive health updates and insights directly, providing peace of mind for families with aging loved ones. ElliQ has been featured in The New York Times, CBS News, The Verge, and WIRED, and is trusted by thousands of families across the United States.
