She likes to talk.

Her kids have told her, you could talk a rock to death.

So she wants to be in conversation with people and...

They could feel the ways in which this loneliness was beginning to eat at her.

And they could also see it, right?

Her doctors had recognized this beginning of a cognitive decline where her word recall wasn't what it was.

And she also has physical issues.

She's got really bad scoliosis.

that has bent her over from at one point she was 5'2", now she's down almost to 4'6".

She's very strong and determined, but she's also at serious risk of a fall that could really change her life very quickly.

So they recognized that she needed something there that was keeping an eye on her in some way.

So one day when the fire department came to check on her, they had this box.

And inside was this little device.

It looked almost like a desk lamp, maybe a foot and a half tall.

It had next to it a sort of iPad screen with a camera.

And they plugged it into the wall.

And this little lamp lit up.

And it started to bend and bow and dance and move.

How may I help?

It was made by this company, Intuition Robotics, which has been working to design artificial intelligence that works for people as they age.
