Eve Communications, a Brooklyn-based tech innovator, has introduced an AI caregiving service designed to help seniors, family caregivers, and homebound individuals. For just $1 per day, the service offers daily phone chats and real-time text updates to loved ones, aiming to provide peace of mind and assist older adults in aging in place affordably.
Eve’s AI-powered service goes beyond basic check-ins. By simulating natural, human-like conversations, the virtual companion offers potential emotional support while also reminding users about daily essentials like meals, medication, and activities. Family members receive text summaries of the calls, giving them a way to stay informed without the need for constant oversight.
“Loneliness and caregiving stress are significant challenges affecting many people,” said Ivan Wicksteed, Founder and CEO of Eve Communications. “Eve is intended to provide an additional layer of support for families who may not be able to be with loved ones around the clock. While she is designed to be reliable and compassionate, individual experiences may vary.”
How Eve Works
Eve’s straightforward setup allows users to customize call schedules and discussion topics based on their preferences. Here’s how the service aims to help families:
- Daily Check-Ins – Eve makes conversational calls, asking about meals, health, or general well-being.
- Real-Time Updates – Family members receive text summaries of each conversation.
- Customizable Scheduling – Topics, questions, and call times are fully adjustable.
- Affordability – At $1 per day, Eve offers a potentially cost-effective solution with no hidden fees.
- Privacy and Safety – All interactions are encrypted and never shared with third parties.
Tackling a Public Health Crisis
The launch comes at a time when loneliness is being recognized as a significant public health issue. Earlier this year, the U.S. Surgeon General equated its health impact to smoking 15 cigarettes per day. Wicksteed believes Eve could be a helpful solution.
“This service has the potential to be a valuable tool for families,” Wicksteed added. “One of our beta testers shared that she was able to sleep more soundly, knowing her mother was being looked after, though results may vary for other users.”
Meeting a Growing Need
Beyond seniors, Eve’s AI service is also designed for people recovering from illness, individuals experiencing depression, or anyone needing regular check-ins. By combining companionship with practical support, Eve aims to reduce isolation and alleviate some of the emotional and logistical stress often experienced by family caregivers. As mental health concerns continue to grow in prominence, especially among older adults, Eve is also positioned to offer companionship to individuals who might not have access to regular human interaction.
For anyone who is a caregiver or is simply concerned about a loved one, Eve may provide a way to help keep them independent while giving caregivers the confidence to continue their efforts. Eve hopes to help loved ones maintain their quality of life as long as possible at home, while encouraging them to continue their routines.
As the demand for AI-powered caregiving solutions grows, Eve Communications plans to continue expanding its offerings, exploring new ways to integrate AI technology to support both caregivers and those they care for.
