goals

The "newbee" platform pursues the ambitious goal of providing holistic care for dementia patients, always prioritizing the balance between therapy adherence and the protection of individual autonomy. Given the projected global increase in dementia cases—with estimates predicting around 78 million cases by 2030—and the associated high depression rates, it becomes clear that innovative approaches to care are urgently needed.

The concept centers on AI-supported psychotherapy, offering greater accessibility, personalization and 24/7 availability. It enables early symptom detection and evidence-based treatment without human therapist bias. The platform aids dementia patients by enhancing language skills through interactive dialogues, improving balance and coordination with programs like yoga, and providing targeted psychological support to counter motivation loss and depression. Innovative nudges—gentle reminders and motivational prompts—help users stay on track and receive positive feedback.
