Why Sunny-1 is a doll?
Our unique approach:
-
Sunny is built on the principle of doll therapy and social robotics. Doll therapy is known to provide comfort, and reduce agitation/anxiety for older adults with cognitive decline
-
By combining the power of the two, we have conviction that this technology can help socially isolated older adults increase their quality of life and well-being.
Conversational Support
Sunny engages in meaningful conversations with the elderly, providing companionship and assistance. It learns your individual conversation preferences the more you use it!
Storytelling
Ask Sunny to tell you a story/joke, it’lll come up with a new one each time!
Multilingual
Currently, Sunny can converse in English and Chinese. VanTech is working hard at adding Japanese, Spanish, Punjabi and other common languages to Sunny so that people of various ethnicities and backgrounds will be able to access Sunny’s companionship.
