New Zealand is investing millions into a research programme focused on leveraging AI for healthy ageing, including development of an AI-powered mobile platform that helps older adults monitor and strengthen their cognitive health.
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) is co-funding, with Singapore’s National Research Foundation, three projects which apply AI to improve health outcomes for older adults, particularly in cognitive health and personalised care.
A $4 million Catalyst Grant has been awarded to a three-year research and development program to deliver a mobile-first, AI-augmented platform to help detect early signs of cognitive decline, and generate actionable insights for care partners and clinicians.
