North Carolina company using AI to help elderly patients be creative

[@guadalupewilcox1564]

As an elderly woman starting to face mobility challenges, the idea of personalized AI drawing tools I could use easily at home fills me with anticipation and cheer!

[@Madhur-Kanchana92290]

Well this is the most precious thing Ive seen all day. Bless this special couple! 💖☺️

Can we take a moment to acknowledge Marcs incredible devotion as a caregiver? What a guy.

[@user-nm3xr1lo8z]

As a mum and artist beginning to struggle with memory issues myself, this gives me immense hope that creative expression can endure beautifully via compassionate innovation.

[@SteevieMatthews]

I choked up seeing Marc able to enjoy those special creative moments with Lisa again thanks to this clever AI drawing tool - it shows the power of tech to reconnect.

[@isobelmason1069]

As a woman who also finds painting therapeutic, my heart swelled seeing the female solidarity of Lisa helped to keep channeling that passion through testing times.

[@Suchi-Vritti0267]

Gosh this just warms my heart so much! What an inspirational story 🥹❤️

[@Shuchita-Indrakshi7028]

More innovations like this that uplift the human spirit please! 🙏

[@Lata-Chapala999]

Not sure this app concept would have passed my universitys ethics review board, but hey, its heartwarming!

[@reneemcgee4045]

As a wife myself, I was so moved by Marc's steadfast devotion to being Lisa's caregiver so she can cherish life's joys despite dementia's difficulties.

[@Sananda-Shaswati868]

The cynic in me worries this app could lead to elder isolation. But wow, Lisas smile speaks volumes! 😊

[@Rajata-Putul02868]

This is an excellent example of assistive technology done right. Take notes, Silicon Valley!

[@YaVonne-Ashna988]

That CEO makes a seriously critical point about the urgent need for diverse voices in AI.

[@Vedi-Vijaya94448]

How amazing that AI can have such a tangible positive impact on peoples lives!

[@Saphala-Diti75696]

Yet another reminder about why training AI thoughtfully matters tremendously.

[@RoyalHotoke]

If my husband pulled this app out to fix my dementia drawing struggles instead of patiently engaging me, Id be livid!

[@Anushka-Raksha7181]

Cant help feeling troubled that this solution overlooks most seniors in poverty without iPads.

[@Kanta-Binodini634]

As an AI ethicist: I love the intent here, but wish there was more oversight against potential harms.

[@Naveena-Najma487]

This is all well and good, but it wont meaningfully move the needle on nursing home staffing ratios.

[@Gunjana-Jayalakshmi7752]

Not to be a downer, but should we consider privacy concerns of biometric data being recorded?

[@Sohalia-Sridevi1285]

Whos chopping onions around here?? Pass me a tissue, will ya... 😭

[@Chandika-Priyamvada51688]

I hope to God I never end up traded off onto some random student in a gig economy eldercare app. shudder

[@Nilasha-Nityapriya882]

I find the framing of AI filling creative gaps in dementia patients rather problematic and ableist.

[@Jui-Fullara472]

Look, any progress helping caregivers is better than nothing. But our policy change is way overdue.

[@Faria-Ishwari08313]

Im probably reading too much into this, but the dynamic of students assisting elders seems a bit patronizing?

[@Harinakshi-Shruti067]

Before celebrating too much, lets see long term peer-reviewed studies validating the cognitive claims.

[@Premala-Indrasena487]

Does anyone else find these types of inspiration porn stories about disabled people cringe-worthy?

[@Gauhar-Sevita635]

Well this is the most precious thing Ive seen all day. Bless this special couple! 💖☺️
