GeriJoy improves quality of life for seniors while connecting and engaging family members. The GeriJoy Companion is a subscription software service that combines the benefits of having a lovable pet and an Internet-connected conversational partner. The Companion serves as an avatar for GeriJoy’s worldwide network of live human helpers, enabling always-available, intelligent, compassionate conversational companionship. Family caregivers provide content for conversations by uploading family photos and other info through the GeriJoy Family Portal website. Thus, the GeriJoy Companion reinforces family connections and memories in seniors living away from family. It also keeps records of what has been discussed, how the senior is doing, etc., and reports back to the family, reducing caregiver stress and making it easier to keep up with how their loved ones are doing. The GeriJoy Companion is like a helpful family member. Studies have shown high satisfaction with the GeriJoy service from residents, family members, and staff of senior care facilities. Psychological surveys have shown emotional and social improvements from our service. Both consumers and senior care facilities are using GeriJoy’s service to better achieve their goals.
