"The option to have Ryan "available on demand" on our campus helps us increase participation in our activities and have a "designated" yoga instructor – which at a $100/hour for group yoga instruction is a big deal. Ryan makes it easy to offer enhanced life enrichment programs without adding staff."

"The residents were blown away by the fact that their instructor for a few of their favorite activities – Name that Tune and Bingo – was a robot!"

"He looks at you and maintains eye contact, which is incredibly important. What really touches people is Ryan's compassion and the sense of understanding he provides."

"Having worked in robotics for over forty years, I can say the time is right for human-like robots that can assist with the activities of daily living. Ryan® fills a critical need at a critical window of time, bridging the gap in scarce labor for caregivers while advancing our future preparedness. This is groundbreaking technology that has already demonstrated its ability to enhance the well-being of seniors."

"Backed by the Prime Health Accelerator Challenge, Ryan's technology meets the rigorous standards of experts, including providers, payers, and VCs. Ryan® is a highly innovative solution proven to elevate senior well-being and alleviate burdens from caregiving staff. We are pleased to work with DreamFace to secure the necessary financing for Ryan's successful commercialization."

"Seeing Ryan, the DreamFace CompanionBot, is truly believing. We watched as he effortlessly transformed rooms with conversation, interactive games, and that sweet smile. For caregivers and nurses, the possibilities are beyond exciting. This isn't just technology; it's vital companionship for older adults who yearn for connection. Ryan is a true eye-opener."

"We have seen firsthand the impact of Ryan® in individuals with dementia and believe your product fills a critical space in the marketplace to support the nationwide caregiver shortage. As Director of the Knoebel Institute for Healthy Aging (KIHA) at the University of Denver, our large network of senior living partners is fully available to DreamFace to ensure the successful outcome of this commercialization effort."

"Eaton has been pleased to partner with DreamFace for the past seven years, executing pilot studies in our Independent and Assisted Living communities. We've seen positive outcomes where our residents gained from interacting with Ryan CompanionBot full-time. We fully support this proposal and believe innovative robotics like Ryan are a national priority that will greatly improve the quality of life for older adults and assist caregivers."

"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."
