These AI robots are moving in with lonely, elderly New Yorkers — and keeping them company for free

Nypost.com

NYSOFA-funded ElliQ program has helped over 900 New York seniors combat loneliness by providing AI companionship at home.
Sandra Cota has used ElliQ since April 2023 to stay active and connected in her Bronx apartment.
The program reports a 94% reduction in loneliness among ElliQ users.
ElliQ greets users in the morning, remembers personal details, and supports daily routines.
ElliQ offers virtual travel, group discussions, and synchronized games to foster social engagement.
ElliQ is not for everyone; NYSOFA screens participants and limits use to those who would benefit most.
ElliQ can remind users to take medications and track basic health data, aiding caregivers remotely.
The ElliQ program is funded by NYSOFA, with some units recycled when participants pass away or move.
Waitlists exist; NYSOFA says most users love ElliQ, and some seniors access it free via Medicare, Medicaid, or local programs.

ElliQ is currently available mainly in the United States and targets seniors living alone who want to age in place.
