For example, the Rendever startup works with assisted living communities to give seniors a way to virtually visit remote locations. The AARP uses Alcove VR so seniors can virtually interact with loved ones who may live far away. Also highlighted by the AARP was VRHealth, which provides virtual reality-based cognitive behavioral therapy, and Pillo, a device that functions as a personal assistant and medication dispenser focused on senior healthcare. Also unveiled at the show was Addison Virtual Caregiver, a video-based assistant with a female avatar which can converse, provide reminders on medication, and spot potential health issues.
