Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing aging and caregiving for the 63 million caregivers in the U.S. A 2024 AARP report highlights that adults over 50 are gradually embracing technology to enhance their lives. With over 75% of older adults wishing to age at home, AI tools like fall detection, medication management, and social companionship are alleviating caregiver burdens, enabling deeper emotional connections.
Rick Robinson of AARP’s AgeTech Collaborative™ emphasizes the importance of AI as a co-supporter, which can help reduce caregiver burnout and financial strain. Notable AI products like Sensi.AI, NewDays, Care.Coach, and ElliQ are setting new standards in supportive technology, offering companionship, cognitive care, and monitoring.
As advancements accelerate, caregiver dependence on AI for administrative tasks and emotional support is expected to grow, highlighting the transformative potential of AI in enhancing the quality of life for older adults and their caregivers.
