A Personal Companion for Elders

As the global population ages, Aileen reimagines elder self-sufficiency through AI companionship. Backed by pioneering healthcare innovators, it extends independence with empathy and intelligence, addressing one of the most urgent challenges of our time.

The Need

More than 30% of adults over 65 live alone, without the support, companionship, or guidance they need. With caregiving costs rising and availability shrinking, families, providers, and systems are struggling to keep up. Aileen addresses this urgent crisis head-on, stepping in where traditional care leaves off and offering comfort, consistency, and health-aware support around the clock. 

A GLOBAL INEVITABILITY

The “Demographical Cliff”

  • America's 65-and-over population is projected to nearly double, from 48 million to 88 million by 2050.1

  • Worldwide, the population aged 80+ is projected to more than triple by 2050.

  • More than 30% of Americans over the age of 65 live alone.

  • Leading to overconsumption of healthcare services, isolation, loneliness and unaccounted financial burden
