About ElliQ
ElliQ is a proactive AI companion designed for in-home aged care. Unlike passive devices, ElliQ initiates conversations, nudges healthy behaviours, connects seniors to family and provides daily cognitive engagement — reducing isolation without requiring any tech literacy from the user.
Key features
Proactive conversations
ElliQ doesn't wait to be asked — it initiates check-ins, asks how residents are feeling and suggests activities. This mirrors the kind of daily connection that reduces isolation.
Family connection portal
Families receive a companion app to send messages, photos and video calls through ElliQ. Loved ones stay connected without requiring the older person to operate a smartphone.
Cognitive games & activities
Daily trivia, memory games, mindfulness exercises and brain training — adapted over time to the individual's ability and interests to keep engagement high.
Health & medication nudges
Proactive reminders for medications, hydration, exercise and appointments — with family and care team notifications if reminders are consistently missed.
Genuine relationship building
ElliQ remembers conversations, learns preferences and references past interactions — creating continuity that feels like a genuine ongoing relationship rather than a scripted assistant.
Care team insights dashboard
Care managers access an insights dashboard showing engagement patterns, mood trends and health adherence — enabling proactive outreach before situations escalate.

Frequently asked questions
Does it work if the person isn't tech-savvy?
Yes — this is core to ElliQ's design. There's no touchscreen, no app to learn, no buttons to press. ElliQ just talks. The interaction is entirely conversational, so if you can talk to a person, you can use ElliQ.
What happens if the internet goes down?
Basic functions continue offline, but the AI conversation and family portal require connectivity. ElliQ notifies the care team if connectivity is lost for an extended period.
Can ElliQ contact emergency services?
ElliQ is not a medical alarm device and cannot contact emergency services directly. However, it can notify family members and care staff of concerning patterns through the insights dashboard.
Is it suitable for someone with early dementia?
Yes — ElliQ works well for mild to moderate cognitive impairment. The consistent, patient personality, simple interaction model and daily routine can actually be grounding. For late-stage dementia, a more sensory device like PARO may be more appropriate.
How does pricing work for a large rollout?
