AI is at the service of caregivers who support their loved ones affected by Alzheimer’s disease

IA Medical has developed an application to help relatives of patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease to navigate the aid systems, and to stimulate the patients’ memory. IA Medical launches a chatbot for caregivers.

A chatbot is a computer program that simulates and processes a human conversation (written or spoken), allowing humans to interact with digital terminals, as if they were communicating with a real person. This conversational robot draws on 15,000 references to offer practical orientation services and cognitive games.

France has between 8 and 11 million caregivers

Today, 8 to 11 million (non-professional) caregivers in France help an elderly person, a person with a disability or a chronic illness. Among them, 61% are workers, representing 15% of the active population. It is predicted that 1 in 4 workers will be caregivers in 2030.

The Alix chatbot

IA Medical has developed Alix, a chatbot intended to improve support for caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s disease. Thanks to a participatory approach, the project made it possible to understand the challenges faced by caregivers and social workers.

Alix’s objectives are to create a unified database of resources for Alzheimer’s patients, to develop an orientation tool for caregivers, and to measure the impact of caregivers’ burden.
