Beyond human caregivers: How AI caregivers can shape the future of ageing

As the ageing population grows, so does the demand for quality caregiving-a demand that traditional human caregivers alone struggle to meet.
Beyond human caregivers: How AI caregivers can shape the future of ageing

High turnover rates, caregiver burnout, and the rising cost of elder care are pushing the industry toward innovative solutions. One such solution on the horizon is the introduction of digital caregivers: AI-powered virtual companions that provide support, companionship, and even medical guidance, helping seniors live more enriched and connected lives.

These digital caregivers do more than automate tasks; they bring a human-like presence that bridges technology with compassion. Recent advancements in AI have enabled companies like Soul Machines and Nvidia to develop digital humans capable of reading emotions through facial expressions, understanding tone of voice, and responding to needs in real-time.

According to Emergen Research, the global market for digital humans is projected to grow from $10 billion in 2020 to around $530 billion by 2030, with senior care emerging as a key area. By learning from each interaction, these digital humans provide a personalised experience, adjusting to each senior's unique preferences and needs.
