Intuition Robotics, the developer of the award-winning care companion robot ElliQ, announced today it has been named to Red Herring's Top 100 Global Companies of 2022. The Red Herring Top 100 recognizes the leading private companies from North America, Europe, and Asia, celebrating these startups' innovations and technologies across their respective industries.
"We are honored to be named to Red Herring's list amongst other innovative leaders across industries," said Dor Skuler, CEO & Co-founder of Intuition Robotics. "Our team has worked incredibly hard to bring ElliQ to market this year and expand access to our ground-breaking technology, which helps older adults live happier and healthier lives at home. We will continue to push the agetech space forward and bring accessible, advanced technology to seniors aging in place."
Red Herring's Top 100 Global list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising companies and outstanding entrepreneurs. Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube, and eBay would change the way we live and work. Thousands of the most interesting and innovative companies have graced the Top 100 list over the years.
Developed with more than five years of cutting-edge research and beta testing with older adults, ElliQ is the first-ever proactive and empathetic care companion. Combining psychology, behavioral sciences, and advanced cognitive AI capabilities, ElliQ is designed to proactively empower older adults to live active, engaged, and connected lives at home, while alleviating the effects of loneliness and social isolation to support their social determinants of health. ElliQ connects older adults to their families, caregivers, and the outside world. Intuition Robotics recently partnered with the New York State for the Aging to bring over 800 ElliQ units to older adults across New York as well.
"Choosing the companies with the strongest potential was by no means a small feat this year" said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across the globe to the Top 100 Winners. We believe Intuition Robotics embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Intuition Robotics should be proud of its accomplishment as the competition was very strong."
Red Herring's editorial staff evaluated the companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, management quality, strategy, and market penetration. This assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the track records and standing of startups relative to their peers, allowing Red Herring to see past the "hype" and make the list a valuable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the most promising new business models from around the world. Red Herring is dedicated to following Intuition Robotics' path to further success and innovation.
