Problem
Family caregivers often struggle to stay connected with aging loved ones, especially when distance or busy schedules prevent frequent visits. Seniors face risks including medication non-adherence, social isolation, and vulnerability to scam calls, while family members are left anxious about their well-being without a reliable way to monitor daily life.
Solution
Sam is a purpose-built smart assistant that keeps seniors engaged and connected while providing families with consistent peace of mind. The device conducts daily guided check-in conversations with the senior and automatically shares updates with family through the Sam App. It delivers out-loud voice reminders for medication, appointments, and routines, and enables calls and messages only from approved contacts, blocking scam calls entirely. Seniors can enjoy fun conversations, music, news, radio, and other voice-activated content, providing an alternative to passive TV and fostering mental engagement. For families, the app provides daily summaries and cognitive wellness tracking that monitors accuracy over time, helping to identify potential concerns early. The system supports 60+ languages and was developed with input from seniors and families across the United States.
Target Audience
Primary customers are adult children and family caregivers of seniors aged 65 and older who want to stay connected, ensure medication adherence, and monitor cognitive health from a distance.
