Home Based
IM-Alert
IM-Alert uses an A.I.-based application called CognICA to detect mild cognitive disorder (MCI) and dementia in seniors, providing comprehensive test results to understand seniors’ cognitive function and thus enabling prompt intervention to mitigate potential deterioration or health complications.
IM-OK
To address concerns over the safety of seniors who live alone, the IM-OK tablet device empowers these seniors to proactively self-report their well-being at home by tapping the “I’m OK” button on the device at scheduled times daily. The device can also be customised to seniors’ needs, such as sending medication reminders, receiving online doctor consultation and accessing entertainment apps.

IM-AIDEN
AIDEN is an Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) that can deliver items such as meals, groceries, medication and laundry to the doorsteps of frail or homebound seniors living in HDB flats, and even conduct check-ins on their well-being. Borne out of a joint collaboration between LB and Delta Electronics, the pilot trial for AIDEN was launched on 13 October 2023, serving daily meals to LB seniors at Blk 151 Mei Ling Street. AIDEN boasts the unique capability to move vertically within a building by taking lifts without requiring any expensive overhaul to existing lift infrastructure. These cost savings will allow AIDEN to be swiftly and efficiently deployed in various settings and applications, pending its successful trial.
