Alberta native creates robot to help people with dementia
Hey Mylo the robot was released in Ireland earlier this year to help people living with dementia. "He's a monitoring and comfort robot to allow people with Alzheimer's to stay in their homes for longer and to be as independent as possible," Hey Mylo creator Candace Lafleur said. Mylo can do all sorts of helpful things, such as medication and scheduling reminders. It can even monitor heart rate and call for help if someone falls. The robot responds through a phone app or by voice and touch.
