The Area Agency on Aging of Broward County (AAABC) is proud to partner with Intuition Robotics to add ElliQ, an AI care companion, to the agency’s lineup of comprehensive services helping Broward older adults age in place. AAABC has launched its online application to identify eligible older adults in Broward County who would benefit from the technology.
ElliQ is an innovative new product for older adults that has a digital display and a light-up “head” that moves and reacts to users’ conversations. Voice-activated, ElliQ is designed to help older adults live happier, healthier, more connected lives while maintaining independence. ElliQ aids seniors with health and wellness support, such as medication reminders, as well as entertainment and companionship with trivia and cognitive games. They can also stay connected to family and friends through video calling, audio and text messaging and notification to primary contact(s) with consent if concerns arise. ElliQ learns and remembers customized interactions and uses humor and a friendly nature to build a meaningful connection with the user.
The Broward-based initiative is now accepting online applications. Those eligible are English-speaking adults ages 60 and older, with Wi-Fi in residence and with no significant impairments. Interested older adults in Broward County can learn more and sign up to get an ElliQ for free by visiting
