Aidly Care Inc.®

Approach - Designed the experience end-to-end: mapped the UX flow and designed the Orb interface to create a calm, emotionally safe user interaction model. - Built the working prototype: developed AidlyCare in Replit using React, TypeScript, and CSS, including the prompt structure and companion behaviours. - Implemented the AI and automation stack: integrated Cohere and n8n to support companion responses, structured routing, and system logic. - Owned all brand and communication: wrote the website and social content, created founder narrative messaging, and built the marketing strategy. - Grounded product decisions in lived experience: created and distributed a community survey, conducted outreach and engagement, logged responses, analyzed findings, and delivered a formal report back to Waterfront Community Centre to support community needs and advocacy. Results Research and community traction - Collected 59 participants total (47 seniors, 12 caregivers) at Waterfront Community Centre, Ontario. Languages included English (51) and Mandarin-assisted (8). - Found that 60% of participants had a family doctor, yet 41% still rated healthcare navigation as difficult. - Identified delayed care as a major outcome: 40% reported delaying care because the system felt too hard to navigate. - Surfaced equity and trust gaps: only 38% felt the system always respected their culture or language, while 36% said sometimes. - Documented caregiver escalation risk: 44% of caregivers reported going to the ER because they could not get timely support elsewhere. - Demonstrated adoption readiness when tools are simple and human: 58% of seniors were likely or very likely to use a digital support tool, and 75% of caregivers were very likely. Product outputs delivered - Shipped a defined UX flow and Orb interface concept for an emotionally safe companion experience. - Built a functional prototype in Replit with a modern front-end stack (React, TypeScript, CSS) and companion prompt logic. - Implemented an automation workflow using n8n and integrated AI via Cohere to support structured responses. - Produced public-facing assets: website copy, social content, research survey, marketing strategy, and a community report for a real partner organization.
