“Pillo” robot funded
July 8, 2016
A CROWDFUNDING
campaign to raise
money for the
commercialisation
of a new ‘Personal
Home Health Robot’
has almost achieved
its US$75,000 target.
Dubbed ‘Pillo’, the device is said
to “empower people of all ages to
better manage their health”.
It can answer questions, connect
users directly with healthcare
professionals and “securely manage
your vitamins and medication;
storing, dispensing and even
ordering refills when you need
them,” according to the blurb on
fund-raising site Indiegogo.
Features include voice and facial
recognition technology, secure
storage, wireless connection to
smart devices and a telemedicine
interface.
The gadget can be pre-ordered,
with earlybird pricing of US$349
and it will also be available in a
‘Developer Edition’ giving the ability
to add new capabilities to Pillo.
