Empathy Meets Intelligence
Aileen is an autonomous, AI-powered health companion designed to live alongside older adults. Unlike solutions of the past that waited for the user to act, Aileen initiates contact. She offers proactive, personalized support to help them stay safe, connected, and confident in their own homes.
A Layered Approach
A Familiar Presence
Daily check-ins, casual conversation, light entertainment, and reminders build comfort and routine
Wellbeing Awareness
Passive listening, motion sensing, and connected devices can help Aileen detect physical and emotional shifts.
Health-Aware Guidance
Medication prompts, hydration nudges, and tailored suggestions based on an individual’s health profile.
Escalation Pathways
When needed, Aileen can alert caregivers, trigger remote monitoring, or escalate to live clinical intervention.
Designed for Passive Engagement
“The user doesn’t need to initiate anything to benefit from Aileen. That’s the point.”
— Roy Schoenberg, Founder
Many older adults avoid or abandon technology because it demands too much of them. Aileen works the opposite way: it learns them, adapts to their routines, and initiates contact when it matters. No apps to open. No buttons to press.
A DIFFERENT APPLICATION OF AI
Familiar, Intimate, and Always There
Most AI optimizes for speed and scale. Aileen optimizes for connection and trust. She draws from the sentiments of the elder and their close circle of caregivers and loved ones to shape her tone, timing, and presence. Each interaction becomes more tailored, more familiar, and more meaningful over time.
As that relationship deepens, so does her insight. Aileen can detect subtle changes in behavior, mood, or speech and escalate early concerns to trusted human caregivers. Not with alarms, but with context, clarity, and care.

A Full Conversation with Aileen
Summer Traditions Social Energy, and Steady Progress
In this conversation, Aileen stays connected to the rhythm of Roy’s summer, tracking everything from Benji’s swimming progress and Danny’s sailing camp to evolving pool features and nonstop social gatherings.

Why It Matters
Aging in place is the preference of 9 in 10 older adults.
But the caregiving system can’t keep up. Aileen is how we bridge the gap safely, affordably, and humanely.
