Loneliness affects one in three seniors, contributing to depression, cognitive decline, and cardiovascular issues. Joy Calls tackles this public health concern with daily, empathy-focused phone check-ins that research shows can significantly reduce feelings of isolation in just weeks. “Grandparents Day reminds us of the irreplaceable value of our older loved ones, and that these relationships deserve our attention and care,” said Costin Tuculescu, CEO of ONSCREEN. This service complements family interactions, offering additional engagement without replacing personal connections.
Joy Calls delivers personalized, conversational check-ins tailored to each senior’s interests, fostering mental wellness and daily structure. The AI recollects past conversations, building rapport over time. Caregivers receive concise updates on their loved one’s mood, reducing stress without requiring technical setups. With multilingual support in English, Chinese, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Romanian, Joy Calls ensures accessibility for diverse communities, with more languages planned.
Unlike app-based solutions, Joy Calls requires no technical expertise, making it ideal for seniors and caregivers alike. Its voice-first approach delivers human-like, respectful interactions, while caregivers gain visibility into emotional well-being. The service’s scalability allows it to provide consistent emotional support, comparable to human interaction, addressing the loneliness epidemic effectively.
Individuals experiencing loneliness can self-sign up for Joy Calls, ensuring broad access. The service remains free until October 1, after which two subscription tiers will launch: a freemium plan with one daily three-minute call in English, and a premium plan at $29.99/month offering up to five daily 20-minute calls in any supported language.
