Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.    Using AI to help train caregivers….both home and professional.   That is the latest project from CareYaya founder Neal Shah.   That company has upended the field of caregiving by utilizing students who are future doctors and other medical professionals to provide exceptional care around the country.  Now, he said on the What’s Next Living Longer Better Smarter podcast, YayaGuide is being developed to use AI for training..

“This builds on a project we’d been working on at Johns Hopkins.  We had proposed this idea of a what we call Duo Lingo of dementia care training.  Create kind of a gamified, easy to learn, upscale yourself, two minutes here, three minutes there while you’re brushing your teeth kind of thing.  It creates gamification and techniques to make you want to do the training and then personalizes it to your need.”

More will be coming at CareYaya.org.
