Intuition Robotics has introduced ElliQ Health Agent, a new proactive health layer that expands its AI companion into an in-home health ally for older adults. The expansion builds on ElliQ’s high engagement and trust levels to support medication adherence, screenings, wellness routines, lifestyle recommendations, and clinical follow-up—while easing the burden on caregivers and healthcare teams.

Rather than functioning simply as a reminder system, ElliQ Health Agent uses ongoing, natural conversations to encourage healthier behaviors, surface early health insights, and support care coordination—positioning the home as a more active participant in the healthcare ecosystem.

At the core of the new capabilities is Agent Health Goals, a dedicated health layer that guides ElliQ’s proactive behaviors. When a goal is defined by clinicians, families, or older adults, ElliQ uses a mix of conversational engagement and structured activities to support progress toward those health goals.

These goals span:

By embedding health support into natural interactions, ElliQ helps users complete assessments, improve adherence to medical plans, and surface meaningful insights for clinical teams—without requiring complex interfaces or constant manual input.

Over the past year, Intuition Robotics has deployed advanced AI models and large language models (LLMs) across ElliQ, resulting in a sharp rise in engagement. Average daily interactions increased from 28 to 45 touchpoints per user, reflecting sustained, ongoing use.

Trust metrics have risen alongside increased engagement among older adults using ElliQ:

This combination of continuity and trust creates the foundation for ElliQ’s expanded health role—enabling users to share personal information they may not otherwise disclose in traditional clinical settings.

ElliQ Health Agent delivers a range of AI-driven health insights, including:

ElliQ also supports completion of assessments and screeners such as HRA (Health Risk Assessments), PHQ-2 (depression screening), and GAD-2 (anxiety screening), and helps identify and close care gaps tied to CAHPS (patient experience measures) and HEDIS (healthcare quality benchmarks). Together, these capabilities align daily engagement with preventive care and quality workflows used by health plans and providers.

“The past year has shown us something profound. When engagement becomes continuous and trust deepens, older adults are sharing deep personal information with ElliQ as they would with a spouse or a close friend and not necessarily with clinicians, and that trusted relationship is what enables ElliQ to be effective in promoting real movement toward healthier routines,” said Dor Skuler, CEO and Founder of Intuition Robotics.

“ElliQ Health Agent represents an evolution of what ElliQ can do inside the home. What began as companionship is now also a health ally that supports AI health insights in a natural, conversational way. Older adults gain confidence, families gain peace of mind and healthcare teams gain the visibility and insights they need to take timely action. This is a significant step toward a future where the home becomes an active, intelligent participant in the healthcare system.”

Q: What makes ElliQ Health Agent different from reminder-based health tools?
A: Rather than relying on transactional prompts, ElliQ uses empathy, context, and long-term rapport to encourage behavior change. Its interactions are informed by ongoing conversations, not isolated alerts.

Q: How does ElliQ support clinicians and care teams?
A: ElliQ provides timely, structured insights into changes in health and function, helping clinicians decide when assessments or interventions may be needed—without replacing clinical judgment.

Q: How is user privacy handled?
A: All capabilities are designed with privacy at the core, emphasizing dignity, transparency, and user control as ElliQ supports health and wellbeing at home.

Q: Does ElliQ Health Agent replace clinicians or caregivers?
A: No. ElliQ Health Agent is designed to support—not replace—clinicians, caregivers, or family members. Its role is to encourage adherence, surface early signals, and provide timely insights that help humans decide when follow-up or intervention may be needed. Clinical judgment and care decisions remain with healthcare professionals.

Q: How does ElliQ balance proactive health support with user autonomy?
A: ElliQ’s health goals are guided by user consent and can be set by older adults, clinicians, families, or care teams. Users remain in control of their interactions, with privacy, transparency, and dignity prioritized as core design principles rather than afterthoughts.

ElliQ’s expansion into proactive health support illustrates how AI in healthcare can play a meaningful role when it is designed around trust, dignity, and long-term relationships—not efficiency alone. Rather than inserting AI into clinical decision-making prematurely, Intuition Robotics has focused on building sustained engagement and emotional safety first, creating the conditions under which health insights can emerge responsibly.

For older adults, this matters because healthcare does not happen only during appointments. Daily routines, adherence, sleep, mobility, and emotional wellbeing all unfold at home, often without visibility from clinicians or caregivers. By embedding health support into natural conversation—and allowing users to remain in control—ElliQ Health Agent helps surface early signals without demanding constant monitoring or sacrificing privacy.

The implications extend beyond individual users. Families gain peace of mind without invasive oversight. Clinicians receive clearer, more timely indicators of when attention may be needed. Health systems benefit from better adherence, completed assessments, and preventive care alignment—without increasing administrative burden.

Most importantly, ElliQ’s approach demonstrates that AI companions in healthcare do not need to be intrusive to be effective. When safety, transparency, and human trust are treated as foundational—not optional—AI companions can support aging populations in ways that feel respectful, empowering, and genuinely helpful. This reframes the home as a safer, more intelligent extension of care—one conversation at a time.
