Reducing Loneliness
Children and young people: In Europe, more than 500,000 children and young people are absent from school for extended periods due to physical or mental illness. The research is crystal clear that school absence due to illness is a problem with major social consequences. The disconnection from friends and classmates has very negative consequences on children’s social and emotional lives.
Elderly: Many elderly struggle to keep up with technological developments. In addition, isolation and visiting restrictions due to COVID-19 meant that many elderly people had less freedom of movement than before, and it was difficult to travel to visit family and friends or receive visits in the home.
The Student’s Eyes, Ears, And Voice In The Classroom
The AV1 communication robot becomes the child’s eyes, ears and voice in the classroom. The robot makes it possible for children and young people with long-term illness to participate socially and in education through an app on their phone or tablet. In 2020, the robot has been particularly important for more people than before, because students with underlying illnesses have been prevented from physically attending school due to the risk of corona infection.
Simplifying Digital Communication For Seniors
The communication tool Komp is a one-button computer designed for seniors who cannot master, or for various reasons do not wish to use smartphones, tablets or computers. The solution enables digital contact with family by sending photos, messages and video calls to the machine. Family members have access to the Komp app, which functions as a private social network. Komp only requires the elderly person to turn it on and set the sound level. Everything else is managed by family members in the Komp app.
