Amid a growing care crisis for older adults in the US, Aeolus Robotics is on a mission to transform the future of healthcare through automation. Aeo is a multifunctional robot designed to take the weight off human caregivers by automating at-home support and giving relatives peace of mind.

Dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other neurocognitive conditions are outpacing the US healthcare system, meaning the bulk of care for Older Adults often falls to unpaid relatives. Healthtech start-up Rippl is shaking up the system by providing accessible, round-the-clock care for seniors.

The pandemic is known to have increased loneliness, especially among Older Adults. With people living longer, Gen Xers and Boomers often find themselves looking after both older and younger relatives. Hoping to combat isolation among older family members, they're prioritizing in-home care.

A health tech start-up is aiming to reinvent at-home social care for Older Adults with its all-in-one integrated platform for carers. At a time when professionals are overstretched and under-resourced, such innovations are ways of reducing the admin burden, enabling a greater focus on care.
