MiiCare

AARP AgeTech Collaborative Portfolio Company | Microsoft Partner Company MiiCare™ is a social enterprise set up by a group of professionals with diverse industry backgrounds, ranging from healthcare to technology and product development. The team came together with one objective in mind - To give vulnerable people (both young and not so young) a Healthy, Safe, and Happy life by building on emerging IoT (Internet of Things) technologies and advancement in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Our team spent over a year working alongside a group of elderly people, clinicians and carers to understand the issues faced by vulnerable people in their day-to-day life. At the end of this lengthy consultative process, the team developed our first prototype - MiiCube. MiiCube has since been through a very long and thorough development and user-testing journey as the team wanted a solution which is reliable, adaptable and user-friendly. The result is a technological marvel which is suitable for a wide range of chronic conditions and builds on non-intrusive sensing technologies to preserve the privacy and dignity of the users, meaning no cameras and no video recording. Our differentiating value proposition is our solution's ability to cater for the 'Physical' as well as 'Emotional' well-being of our users. We do this by combining the advancement in Technology Enabled Care solutions and Social Media. This allows us to detect and notify an imminent risk to a vulnerable adult as well as link individuals of similar interest to keep them entertained and happy, and help them overcome loneliness. The solution provided by MiiCare™ also falls under the category of ‘disruptive technologies’ with unprecedented potential of transforming the current care provision model, by empowering individuals to take more control of their own health and well-being.
