We explore how AI technology is transforming long-distance caregiving and helping people age in place safely. The emotional burden of caring from afar creates a unique kind of burnout that technology might help alleviate.
• The current "reactive model" of caregiving leaves families scrambling after emergencies have already occurred
• AI systems like Addison can learn daily routines and detect subtle changes that might indicate emerging problems
• These technologies provide real-time dashboards for remote caregivers, offering peace of mind and concrete information
• Unlike cold monitoring devices, AI companions speak with seniors, providing companionship and reducing isolation
• Technology doesn't replace human caregiving—it reinforces it by extending our reach and making care more informed
How might AI-assisted caregiving shift our understanding of independence for older adults, and what new roles might open up for family caregivers managing from afar?
