The New York State Office for the Aging (NYSOFA) has renewed its partnership with Intuition Robotics through a new three-year, $2.1 million agreement. This expansion will continue to provide the ElliQ AI companion robot to aging New Yorkers experiencing loneliness and social isolation. The program builds on three years of collaboration, during which ElliQ has reportedly demonstrated effectiveness in reducing loneliness and improving health and wellbeing, enabling older adults to live more independently at home.
