Polly Assistive AI
Polly is an AI-powered platform offering cognitive support and innovative telecare solutions for people with physical challenges, revolutionizing healthcare at a lower cost.
Developing "Polly" required tackling several complex challenges inherent in integrating AI technologies for neurological care. Communication presented a key hurdle, as designing a system capable of real-time contextual responses demanded robust language processing and seamless voice and facetime integration. Cognition-focused features introduced difficulties in building computer vision models sensitive enough to detect subtle neurological deviations while ensuring privacy and reliability. Additionally, the caregiving aspect posed challenges in creating an alarm system that balanced urgency and accuracy, alongside remote monitoring tools that remained intuitive for non-technical caregivers. Scaling these features while ensuring cross-platform compatibility and compliance with healthcare standards added another layer of complexity.
The result was a groundbreaking assistive technology that empowered users with neurological disorders to communicate more effectively, regain cognitive independence, and enhance their quality of life. Polly’s communication features fostered stronger connections between users and their surroundings, while its cognition tools provided early intervention capabilities and supported memory and behavior management. For caregivers, the system delivered peace of mind through reliable monitoring and timely alerts. From a technical standpoint, Polly successfully harnessed cutting-edge multimodal AI models, optimized across cloud platforms like Azure, Google Cloud Vertex AI, and AWS Bedrock, ensuring a scalable, high-performance solution. Its success also paved the way for next-generation research into advanced AI-driven healthcare systems.
