Improving health outcomes for Regional Australia
Together we can scale psychosocial support
1 in 3
One in three older Australians live in regional/remote areas with limited access to aged/home care or the conversational support that is critical to remaining healthy at home.
Australians in rural/remote areas have shorter lives, higher prevalence of loneliness/isolation and poorer health outcomes than those in metropolitan areas.
50%
Social isolation and loneliness increase the risk of developing dementia by 50% (World Health Organisation).
How PsychoSocial Tech can help
Our human centred AI-companionship care system can bridge critical service gaps in regional and remote care, reducing loneliness and improving health outcomes. PsychoSocial Tech provides a single integrated system combining:
- emotional support
- cognitive stimulation
- dementia support
- specialised advice on falls and other age-related challenges
- enjoyable social conversation (currently in English, Mandarin and major European languages)
- help with grief, loss, and transition
For aged-care and home-care providers, a Psychosocial AI companionship system can enhance continuity of care, meeting the growing, unmet need for conversational support, especially in regional, rural or remote areas.
Our 2025 evaluation in residential aged care showed a 16% reduction in loneliness
