Product Presently in Use in Senior Living Facilities in the USA and France To Launch Globally in 2021

Three years after winning the prestigious "Tech for a Better World" Award at CES 2017, Boston-based CareClever will officially launch Cutii, the world’s first companion robot specifically designed to overcome social isolation and cognitive decline for seniors at CES 2021.

Presently deployed in senior living communities and in homes across the USA and France, Cutii removes all technology barriers, allowing full voice interaction with a unique mobility function that makes Cutii a truly versatile companion. Users simply speak and Cutii responds and moves as needed. Users can enjoy virtual visits from family and friends or can book one of the many available live activities specially adapted for seniors.

“Even when you don’t take into account the Coronavirus pandemic, millions of seniors worldwide find themselves isolated and alone in their own homes,” said Antoine Bataille, Founder and CEO of CareClever. “Cutii brings the entire world directly to seniors who may not have the capability to travel or journey beyond their environment. Through immediate connection with friends, family and caregivers, as well as instant access to social, educational and entertainment options, Cutii effectively expands the options presently available to our elderly loved ones.”

Whether limited by health, weather, transportation, COVID-19 or other factors, a surprising number of parents and grandparents have insufficient contact with friends, family or others. In America 27% of elderly living at home have five or fewer conversations per month; a scenario that ultimately leads to depression and cognitive decline for the senior, along with heightened family concern, and costly ensuing healthcare issues. Whether at home or in senior living facilities, care groups face ever increasing challenges in finding caregivers.

Now ready for global launch, Cutii is here to help.

“Everything Cutii does is driven by our company's vision, the empowerment of human interactions,” Bataille says. In addition to facilitating virtual visits and delivering specifically-focused content, Cutii also delivers peace of mind for the senior and their families thanks to its emergency response capabilities. Simply by saying "Cutii help!" the senior will be attended to without the need to learn any complex technology. Cutii presently supports tele-health consultations and will soon allow autonomous patrol to detect potentially dangerous situations for the senior.
