Student Winner: Senior’s wellbeing insight through storytelling and Ethical AI

Bea Alessio

As we move away and become Adult Children of Senior parents, there is a need to bridge day-to-day interactions and gameplan care and support as best as we can. Of the 53M Seniors in the US (projected to grow to 83M by 2050) 1 in 3 live alone, at the same time, 1 in 5 American adults are caring for a senior whilst living apart. The physical distance and reversal of care roles make supporting and going through aging often challenging.

Milu leverages Voice Interactions and Ethical AI to amplify the interaction between seniors and their families, facilitating opportune insights and projecting better care through old age. Aiming to incite storytelling and sharing through voice and visuals, Milu enriches family interactions with media and new facts, whilst delivering emotional and cognitive prompts to detect variance over time and project future care.

Designed for radical Usability, Milu can be used on Smart TVs, Home Voice Assistants, and Smartphones. Rooted on existing interaction mental models Senior users have with natural conversations, radio, and TV remote controls, Milu leverages emotion, orientation, and cognition recognition models to deliver private and ethical insights about aging to a close family circle.
