EverFriends, AI Companions Are Changing the Dementia Journey Lori La Bey talks with Dan Hungerford, the founder and CEO of EverFriends.ai, an innovative digital companionship platform that helps aging adults live with dignity, connection, and cognitive support. They are seen as a leader in emotionally aware AI development. Dan is pioneering the use of hyper-realistic digital avatars to provide daily interaction, memory stimulation, and caregiver relief. Learn: What does AI stand for, and what can it do? What is a digital human? How are they built to respond to people? Can they interact with more than one person, or does that confuse them? What are the specific characteristics they have when responding? Can they pick up on a person's physical response, or is it just voice-activated that they can respond to? What about ethics and dignity? How are they dealt with? Are there regulations overseeing AI? Is EverFriends.ai helping the caregiver or the person living with dementia? Specific examples of how EverFriends.ai digital humans can support both the person living with dementia and the care partners. How do you see the future of AI expanding?
