In South Korea, a country facing a rapidly aging population, innovative solutions are being sought to improve the quality of life of seniors. One of these solutions is the use of AI-powered robots that act as emotional and practical companions. These robots, designed like children, are designed to help older people overcome loneliness while promoting their cognitive health.
The demographic development in South Korea has led to a situation in which more than 10 million people are over 65 years old. This corresponds to a fifth of the population. Traditional family structures have changed and many older people now live alone, leading to isolation and the feeling of being a burden. Faced with these challenges, the South Korean government is increasingly relying on technological solutions to close the care gap.
One company operating in this area is Hyodol. It offers a platform based on artificial intelligence with a doll-like robot at its heart. This robot is connected to an app and a web platform that allows families and caregivers to monitor senior care. The robot reminds you to take medication, sends emergency alerts and provides data about meal times. What is particularly important, however, is the emotional support it offers.
Hyodol’s robots are already in use in over 12,000 homes, primarily through government programs. Studies have shown that the use of these robots leads to an improvement in the mental health of seniors. Users report fewer depressive symptoms and better cognitive abilities. The robots also help delay entry into nursing homes, which is beneficial for both seniors and the healthcare system.
Hyodol now plans to expand its technology internationally. The AI will be adapted for different countries to be available worldwide in 2026. This development could also play an important role in other countries facing similar demographic challenges. The combination of technological advances and human care shows how innovative solutions can help improve the quality of life of older people.
