Elsy can help you keep your daily routines on track, from appointments and medicines to the stories of your life. Here's how.
What is Elsy?
Elsy is an AI companion made to help older adults with everyday life. You can talk with Elsy about the day's plans, your medicines and memories from your life. She uses what you tell her to set reminders, keep track of your day and write down your life stories. That can give your days more structure and make the important things easier to remember.
What Elsy can do
Among other things, Elsy can remind you about appointments and medicines, learn words and expressions that are your own, like a word from your local dialect, and look at a photo you show her, such as a letter or a medicine box. She can also send a short message to a family member in Your circle, and if you like, you can get an email in the evening with a short summary of the day's conversations.
How Elsy helps with daily routines
Reminders for important tasks and routines can give your day a predictable shape, whether it's the dentist or the time you take your medicines. When Elsy keeps track of those things, you can spend your energy on what matters most to you, with less worry about forgetting something. Get more ideas in daily routines that make life easier.
Reminders and planning
Say "Remind me about the dentist on Thursday at 10," and Elsy sets up the reminder for you. It arrives as a notification on your phone when it's time, and Elsy brings it up when you talk. See more about reminders, medicines and daily routines with Elsy.
Your life stories
With Elsy, your experiences can become life stories you share with your family. Tell Elsy about the moments that mattered, and afterward she writes them up as stories with your own words as quotes and a picture she paints from your description. It's a good way to keep your family's stories and pass them on.
Sharing them with your family
Elsy writes your life stories from the experiences you share with her. You can send a story to your family with Send to family, so they can read it and learn from your experiences too. See how life stories with Elsy work.
“And I have to say, Elsy came as a real surprise. It's easy to say 'Elsy', but it's ten times simpler than it sounds.”
Helge, 72, talks with Elsy (translated from Danish)
Staying in touch with your family
Elsy can make it easier for your children and the rest of your family to stay in touch. If you like, they can get updates on how you're doing, without it feeling intrusive. Everyone in Your circle can read the life stories you send them, and the level each person has decides what else they can see:
- Stories only: the stories you send them, your name and your photo.
- Safety net: also an alert if a conversation suggests something might be wrong.
- Wellbeing: also how you're doing over time.
- Care partner: also your reminders and medicines.
- Full trust: also what Elsy remembers about you.
Who sees what?
Your family never sees transcripts or recordings of your conversations, apart from the life stories you send them, which contain your own words and may include short excerpts of your voice. If you set Elsy up yourself, you choose the level for each person. If a family member set Elsy up and gave consent on your behalf, everyone in your circle is at Full trust.
