ABSTRACT

This feasibility study of daily voice-based AI health monitoring among 14 elderly Japanese adults (mean age 71 years) within an 8-week group-based longevity intervention demonstrated 73% median daily engagement and generation of 4,876 qualitatively rich conversational messages, suggesting voice AI succeeds not by replacing human connection but by mediating it within social support structures.
