Technology that makes you feel like you're there
Most geriatric loneliness mitigation involves short, infrequent visits from paid in-home aides who may not have a lot in common with the seniors they visit. We match groups of isolated seniors based on similarities during their most productive years so that they can enjoy fluent, rewarding conversations and build meaningful connections. Our custom video conversation technology makes you feel like you're right there. And you can use it to talk as often as you want, for as long as you want.

Our Technology
Video
A 15.6-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) portrait screen provides a perfect layout for direct conversation, with 450 nits of brightness picking up every facial expression and gesture.
A 50 megapixel camera set at eye level creates a high quality image for normal conversation dynamics and provides absolute privacy with a physical lens cover.
Automatic framing with a 113° field of view and 4x zoom keeps participants front and center whether sitting, standing or moving around.
Audio
A dual front-facing tweeter and woofer speaker combination provides a rich reproduction of human voice.
A triple microphone array and custom audio algorithms emphasize human voice while removing background noise.
Full duplex audio allows for overlapping speech so conversations flow more naturally.
About Us
Purpose Built Technologies is a startup company working to solve geriatric loneliness by creating high quality purpose built systems that provide human connection for isolated seniors.
We are currently developing our proprietary video conversation technology that allows pairs of carefully matched seniors to converse using a zero interface, high quality, large screen, preconnected device.
Seniors are matched based on similarities during their most productive years so that they can enjoy fluent, rewarding conversations and build meaningful connections.
Our technology allows isolated seniors to enjoy a higher volume of higher quality human interaction at a lower price than paid in home aide visits. Participants also benefit from knowing that they are helping the person they are connected with, giving them an invaluable sense of purpose and being needed.
