Cuida Health’s mission is to adapt and develop voice technology specifically to improve the social wellness of older adults. The company’s first product is LiSA, a “voice-activated wellness social platform” which aims to improve the day-to-day lives of seniors.
LiSA is available on both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Like other digital assistants, LiSA allows users to send and receive texts and emails, check their calendars, search for activities and more.
What sets LiSA apart is that she was specifically designed with seniors in mind. She is also a health coach, providing tips to keep users mentally and physically fit and also suggests activities to get seniors out of the home and engage with the community. She can also read headlines or inquire whether the user has taken their medication for the day. Another key difference, is that LiSA is programmed to be patient while waiting or listening for a response at a “pace and structure comfortable for older adults.”
