JubileeTV – senior care tool using AI

It’s technology that transforms the television into a lifeline for healthcare giving. That is the message of JubileeTV, a remote caregiving system formed out of a son’s desire to help his aging mother and in-laws.

“There’s an immense sense of guilt when your mom is alone at 90-plus in her home and struggling, and you can’t take care of her as much as you’d like to. But when technology comes to help you there’s independence for mom and gives you as the family care giver the power to take care of them,” said Ashish Aggarwal, CEO of JubileeTV.

The goal of JubileeTV is to help seniors continue living in their homes as they age by using their televisions to connect them instantly and easily with their families.

“My goal was to build this bridge between family caregivers who are living remotely, who have the phone and app with them and older adults who are in front of the television 7 to 9 hours a day,” Aggarwal said.

JubileeTV offers a variety of functions from sending photos, reminders, important health information, to alerts of any falls.

“The AI platform can notify about anything out of the ordinary. So it’s like keeping a watchful eye,” Aggarwal said.

Bringing a sense of relief to their caregivers.

“The burden on the family caregiving is reduced. People say, oh I can go back seven days and see exactly what my mom has done,” Aggarwal said.

“With these simple tasks, they feel empowered. Then when they know the system is keeping an eye on them. For example, one of our board members uses it for his mom. He said they fact that his mom knows that he gets alerts and reminders makes her at peace,” he said.

It works by giving their caregivers remote access to change and monitor the content in order to create a peaceful setting.

“It’s like you’re literally virtually there in the room. You can see what’s on the TV and put on any content,” Aggarwal said.

Aggarwal helped launched the patented technology behind JubileeTV that incorporates cutting edge artificial intelligence using motion and audio tech.

With his engineering background, he started as the company’s chief technology officer. Now taking over as CEO, he envisioned using the company for senior care. Inspired by his own family’s needs after he moved to America.

“My father-in-law was a nuclear scientist who now has dementia. It’s really hard to manage. How can I keep an eye on them to see if their doing okay or not doing okay? You can’t be there with them all the time. So that was need for me,” he said.

JubileeTV places an AI device into the room with a camera and microphone on the TV
and connects to the caregiver’s app. Privacy settings are built in to avoid misuse. Aggarwal explains why television is the best means for elderly seniors to use.

“It’s simple. It’s easy to control. It’s big. It’s loud. Tablets and phones really aren’t effective at that age. Think about much older, like the last five years of life with hearing impairment, visual impairment, with dementia. There are 16 million older adults in America living with that. That number will become 30 to 35 million soon,” Aggarwal said.

He said artificial intelligence can be used to empower people as they grow older.

“My parents want independence. They don’t want to be dependent on the children. They want to live independently and not burden the children. They understand their children care about them who are juggling between their own kids and their parents,” Aggarwal said.

He said JubileeTV is getting ahead of what will become a worldwide problem as the population, life spans, and diseases increase. So, the best means of utilizing artificial intelligence in a practical and loving way is for senior care.

“I think we live to create a positive impact. I think through technology if we can create that I would think my life is well-lived,” Aggarwal said.
