Video Visit the ones you love with a self-floating Zeppi

Zeppi lets you easily "drop in" for spontaneous chats, visual check-ins, and quick consultations around the tens of issues that arise every day. With a self-positioning camera, life-size high-resolution screen and excellent audio assembly, Zeppi makes it natural and simple to check in with professional caregivers, attend appointments and get reassurance that all is well when phone calls go unanswered.

The Challenge

Overloaded family caregivers

Family caregivers worry 24/7 about their care recipients - mostly older parents - juggling conflicting demands all day long to be accessible and attentive.

73% of family caregivers are also employed
66% report that their work day is interrupted by caregiving issues
15% live more than an hour away from their charge.

Lonely seniors

48% of seniors in the US are lonely, and it affects their health. 29% are living alone.

With the loss of friends and relatives that comes with aging, and our highly mobile society, more and more seniors report feeling lonely. Researches show that loneliness is associated with cognitive decline, depression and even reduced motor function.
