    “Advancements in robotics and AI are turning healthcare support and virtual nursing from concept into reality at just the right time. Augmenting human teams via eldercare robotics and AI is one of the most efficient ways to increase the quality of care for the elderly and fill that gap.”

    Trust The Experts

    “All too often, the “race to AI” is viewed as a drag race, with the winner defined as the first one to reach the finish line. What we’re learning today is that speed does not always equal success. Perhaps the most important lesson AI has to teach us is this: in everything we do, humans matter. It’s that simple.”

    Illah Nourbakhsh, Professor of Robotics, Director of the CREATE lab and Associate Director for robotics faculty at Carnegie Mellon University

    Investing in Innovation

    The coverage team incorporates full-time financial and research professionals supported by industry entrepreneurs and academic leaders who specialize in global developments across robotics, artificial intelligence, and healthcare technologies.

    The strategic advisory board, including more than 7 PhDs and some of the most highly respected technology visionaries, works closely with our management team to identify early key industry trends and associated companies. Their constant research and influential insights have been a driving force of our outstanding performance to date.
