Enhancing cognitive health with the AI companion Alfred?

03.02.2025

In our Innosuisse-funded project, we are investigating the potential of the voice-based AI companion Alfred together with interested senior citizens.

The ‘Living Lab’ testing of the voice-based AI companion Alfred will begin in early February at the Wohnen am Singenberg retirement and care home. 

Cornelia Ursprung and Simone Eicher from Institute for Ageing Research IAF will provide scientific support for the testing directly with the end users as part of our  Innosuisse research project with Altertainment.

Interested residents will independently test the voice-controlled AI companion Alfred. Together, we will explore its possibilities and potential for independent use in retirement homes.

We are excited about the research results and look forward to testing this technological innovation together with older people and professionals!
