Questions & answers

Everything you've been wondering.

Simple answers about what iiAI is, how it works, and how it keeps your family's information safe.

The basics
What is iiAI?

iiAI is a caring AI that watches over older adults living at home. It learns what a normal day looks like for your loved one, and when something changes, it gently lets the family and their caregivers know, before it turns into a crisis.

Think of it as an extra set of caring eyes for all the hours between visits and phone calls.

How does iiAI know something is wrong?

For the first couple of weeks, iiAI simply learns your loved one's normal: when they usually wake up, how much they move, how they sleep, whether they chat with Alexa in the morning.

After that, it looks for a pattern of change over several days, not one bad night. For example: moving much less, skipping breakfast twice, and being restless at night, all in the same few days. That's when it reaches out.

It compares each person to their own normal, not to everyone else. What's normal for your mom may not be normal for someone else's.

What happens when iiAI notices a change?

It sends a calm, simple message to the right person. For example: "Mom has seemed a bit quieter these past two days. Nothing urgent. Worth checking in."

If your loved one uses a speaker like Alexa, iiAI can also gently encourage them, like suggesting breakfast or a short walk. No sirens, no scary alerts.

Does my loved one have to do anything?

No. There are no buttons to press and no new habits to learn. iiAI works quietly in the background through devices they already use.

Devices & comparisons
What devices does it work with?

iiAI works with things many families already have:

  • iPhone and Android phones
  • Smartwatches and fitness trackers
  • Hearing aids
  • Alexa and Echo speakers
  • Smart TVs

No special equipment to buy.

How is this different from an Apple Watch or a medical alert button?

A smartwatch tracks numbers, and an alert button helps after something happens, like a fall.

iiAI is different in three ways:

  • It learns each person's own normal
  • It looks for small changes before a crisis
  • It connects the whole care circle: family, caregivers, and care professionals

A smartwatch can even be one of the devices iiAI learns from.

Privacy & safety
Is iiAI watching or recording us?

No cameras. iiAI looks at patterns like activity, sleep, and routine, not pictures or recordings of your home.

Is our information private and safe?
  • Your information is encrypted and stored on secure US-based servers
  • Built to follow HIPAA, the same privacy rules hospitals follow
  • Only people you approve can see updates
  • Your personal information is never sold
  • You can stop anytime and ask for your data to be deleted
Is iiAI a doctor or a medical device?

No. iiAI doesn't diagnose anything. It helps people notice changes earlier. Every care decision stays with your family, your caregivers, and your doctors.

Cost & availability
How much does it cost? Does Medicare cover it?

iiAI is offered through home care agencies and care providers, not sold directly to families yet.

Medicare has a benefit called Remote Patient Monitoring, where a care team checks in on health information between visits. We're working with billing partners to confirm how iiAI fits into it. Coverage and any copay depend on each person's plan and provider.

When and where can we get it?

Our first pilot with home care agencies begins in November 2026 in Wake County, North Carolina. We'll expand to more places after that, and in the future, to the Philippines.

Who is iiAI for?
  • Families caring for a parent or grandparent at home, especially from far away
  • Home care agencies and adult day care centers that want to know what happens between visits
  • Hospitals and health systems staying close to patients after they go home
Our story
What do Alaga and Malasakit mean?

They're two Filipino values at the heart of iiAI.

Alaga means devoted, attentive care: looking after someone closely.

Malasakit means genuine concern from the heart: caring because you truly care, not because you have to.

They shape how iiAI talks and reaches out: warmly and gently, the way family would.

Where does the name "iiAI" come from?

いい (ii) means "good" in Japanese. iiAI simply means a good AI, one made to care.
