Robovalley right?

Is there still animo for this? I would love to invest in elderly care technology, especially AI for Alzheimers.

Would this still be possible, or is it a big company (Philips?) thing now?

We were a spinoff of TU Eindhoven. Robovalley went up into Holland Robotics recently, AFAIK, but Netherlands is small of course. Our company just stopped. I actually interviewed at https://www.robotcaresystems.com/ that now have an autonomous rollator on the market and I recently found out about https://mojin-robotics.de/ which seems to continue where we left off. So, yes, there is still animo for robotics in care.

I don't know any companies that focus on Alzheimers, but there is a bunch of medical robot tech companies around here, eg. http://microsure.nl/ that do micro-surgery and http://www.preceyes.nl/ that make eye-surgery robots. A

There's Health Valley (https://www.healthvalley.nl/welcome-to-health-valley), that may know some companies that do focus on Alzheimers more.
