Hestia

AL is a countertop device and companion app that keeps aging parents and their adult children in each other's daily lives without either having to check in physically . Most older adults living alone are independent, and run their week. What they lack isn't supervision but a shared channel. The current substitute is the weekly phone call, answers neither fully trusts.  It answers questions out loud, shows the day's plan, cycles photos the family sends, and dispenses pre-sorted medication on schedule. The app gives the family the other side: a written summary of the parent's day, sleep and vitals pulled from wearables she already owns, and one thread where siblings coordinate and act. Between them sits an agent layer that turns signal into something readable in thirty seconds.
