Anne is an personal avatar and helps you lead a healthier and more pleasant life. She helps you handle a – chronic – disease and stays in contact with the professionals or informal caregivers when necessary. She will get to know you - so when time comes that physical or cognitive capabilities decline, she’ll recognise that and will assist. She will control home automation by voice recognition. Anne helps with daily structure and stimulates your mental or physical condition. Professionals and informal caregivers are connected and in case of emergency Anne will inform them.
