Today, Pillo Health and BLACK+DECKER announced an ongoing collaboration and the launch of Pria by BLACK+DECKER™, a voice-activated in-home robot assistant that lets consumers better manage their health and stay connected to their caregivers. The Pillo Health technology bringing Pria to life leverages facial recognition and AI, allowing users to maintain safety, independence and wellness in-home, while providing peace of mind to those who are deeply involved in their care via mobile app.
Growth of Companion Robot Market
The companion robot market is expected to reach $34.1 billion by 2022 and, specifically, the smart home elderly monitoring market is projected to grow 600 percent by 2020. The Pillo Health technology bringing Pria to life leverages facial recognition and AI, enabling adults to maintain safety, independence and wellness in-home while providing peace of mind to those who are deeply involved in their care through a mobile app. The device proactively facilitates in-home healthcare management by scheduling up to 28 medication doses, providing reminder alerts, dispensing proper medication at the proper times, and providing the user with fast access to family or caregivers with a simple voice command and built-in camera.
The Inception of In-Home Robot Assistant
The partnership between BLACK+DECKER, Inc., and Pillo Health to launch Pria direct-to-consumer was executed by Stanley Healthcare, which provides innovative solutions and technology for safer, more secure and more efficient care in senior living. Pria by BLACK+DECKER will employ a comprehensive care platform designed for the 40-plus million adults in the U.S. who act as caregivers to adults aging in place. Pillo Health will market Pillo, its version of the companion, directly to healthcare providers and other organizations that want to revolutionize and improve the health and wellness of patients at home.
Simplify Your Loved One’s Home Healthcare
Pria’s personal medication assistant takes the hassle out of medication management and relieves worries about medication adherence. Pria is easy to set up and the pill-chute makes for easy loading. With features like two-way video calling, facial recognition, and mobile alerts, families can stay connected and talk about what matters, not about medication management.
“Pria is the first true home care companion designed specifically to facilitate the wellbeing of independent individuals at home, while providing a platform for caregivers to monitor and manage the delivery of medication and care plans,” said Sean O’Brien, director, Health-at-Home Technologies, Stanley Healthcare. “Collaborating with Pillo Health helped us bring Pria to market quickly and collectively address two critical care-focused market segments.”
Pria by BLACK+DECKER Pricing/Availability
Pria by BLACK+DECKER is available to consumers on www.okpria.com and through select retail partners for $749.99 for the product and a one-year subscription for use. Pillo Health is currently seeking additional partners who are looking for new ways to improve the safety and quality of in-home healthcare.
