While families sleep, an invisible guardian watches over Saudi Arabia’s elderly population. This protector doesn’t rest, doesn’t blink, and never forgets – it’s the artificial intelligence powering Me’kaaz’s next-generation care systems. By combining our SANAD and NEDA Bands with advanced AI algorithms, we’re creating an always-vigilant care network that’s transforming what’s possible for senior independence in Saudi Arabia.
78% of seniors prefer staying at home, yet 62% of families worry about leaving them alone. Our AI bridges this gap.
The AI Caregiver That Never Sleeps
Our systems learn and adapt to each senior’s unique patterns:
Real-World Example:
When 68-year-old Fatima in Riyadh started taking 12% longer to reach the bathroom at night, our AI:
- Flagged the change to her doctor (early sign of UTI).
- Adjusted nighttime lighting timing.
- Notified her daughter in Jeddah.
AI Capabilities:
- Predictive Health Analysis: Spots subtle changes in movement, sleep or vitals.
- Context-Aware Alerts: Distinguishes between normal solitude and concerning isolation.
- Arabic Natural Language Processing: Understands dialect variations for voice commands.
Cultural Intelligence: Why Saudi Seniors Need Different AI
We’ve trained our systems on local behaviors:
- Prayer Time Awareness: Adjusts monitoring during salat periods.
- Ramadan Mode: Adapts medication schedules for fasting hours.
- Family Visit Detection: Recognizes frequent guest patterns.
The Vision 2030 Connection: Building Saudi’s AI Care Infrastructure
We’re contributing to national goals by:
- Training local AI models at KAUST.
- Creating 120+ tech jobs for Saudi graduates.
- Reducing ER visits by 41% in pilot cities.
Beyond Monitoring: AI That Cares
Our technology doesn’t just watch – it interacts:
- Companion Mode: Reminds seniors of family birthdays, holidays.
- Cognitive Exercises: Arabic-language memory games.
- Emergency Prep: Guides seniors through crisis steps until help arrives.
Conclusion
This isn’t surveillance – it’s sophisticated care that respects dignity while providing unprecedented safety. As Saudi Arabia embraces its AI future under Vision 2030, we’re ensuring our elders benefit first.
