A companion-shaped health system for older adults living alone.
Anno is a puppy-shaped smart health companion designed for older adults living alone. It blends quiet, ambient health monitoring with the warmth of a pet — using voice, gentle body language, and a small side screen instead of apps and notifications. Medication reminders, anomaly detection, SOS protocols, and emotional feedback are all wrapped in a form that feels like company, not a medical device.
Set medication reminders, check health data, or configure alarms with natural voice — no apps, no smartphones, suitable for low digital literacy.

Try the demo →Anno's internal dispenser prepares the right pills at scheduled times. Feedback comes through voice and subtle body movement, with prescription uploads via GP integration.
Try the demo →Anno wags its tail, tilts its head, or moves slowly based on the user's health state. In critical moments an animated screen shows heart-rate status — turning a tool into a companion.
Try the demo →A side screen shows daily health summaries to the user. Doctors and family receive only critical alerts — clarity without information overload, autonomy with safety.
Try the demo →Visible, easy-press buttons; magnetic wristband docking; soft coverings hiding tech components — Anno blends into the home, not the hospital.
