RYAN WAS CREATED HERE

DreamFace Technologies, LLC is a research-driven company advancing chronic care management through Socially Assistive Robotics and proprietary AI. Our work builds on academic research to deliver validated, non-pharmacological interventions for older adults.

At DreamFace, we believe advanced technology should empower people. Our commitment is to create intelligent, compassionate robots that elevate quality of life and help older adults thrive with dignity.

OUR MISSION

At DreamFace, we are dedicated to supporting healthy aging through advanced technology and thoughtful innovation. Our social robotic solutions are designed to reduce loneliness, enhance well-being and improve daily life for older adults.

IMPACT ON ALZHEIMER'S CARE

Alzheimer's disease (AD) places a significant emotional and financial strain on families, caregivers, and the healthcare system. Today, AD costs the United States more than $236 billion annually, with projections exceeding $1 trillion by 2050. At DreamFace, we believe innovative wellness robotics can play a transformative role in addressing this growing challenge.

DreamFace's Ryan CompanionBot stood out among dozens of entries to become one of the five winners of the CES 2024 Eureka Park Accessibility Contest. The judges recognized its innovation, feasibility, and powerful impact on improving the lives of older adults and people with disabilities. We fully support DreamFace's continued work and are excited to see how this technology will grow.
