Wonderful Platform, a global leader in AI-enabled aging and dementia-care innovation, today announced the U.S. launch of Avadin™, the world’s first Physical AI Care Operating System, debuting at CES 2026.

Avadin represents a breakthrough in senior healthcare technology. Instead of treating aging as a series of disconnected problems—loneliness, safety concerns, cognitive decline, or medication adherence—Avadin integrates AI robotics, digital twin intelligence, VR/AR cognitive programs, and both family- and clinician-facing applications into one unified platform. At its core is CareTwin™, a personalized AI engine that models each senior’s memory, behavioral patterns, emotional states, and safety risks, enabling early detection of decline and timely interventions that would otherwise be missed by the existing care system.
The timing of this launch aligns with a national healthcare landscape that is under unprecedented strain. AI has finally matured enough to automate complex care workflows, while robotics hardware has become cost-efficient enough for large-scale deployment. Meanwhile, senior care has emerged as one of the largest unsolved challenges in the U.S., driven by accelerating dementia rates, rising care costs, and a workforce shortage projected to exceed nine million caregivers by 2030. Governments and insurers are now actively searching for scalable, technology-driven solutions that can reduce cost while improving outcomes for aging-in-place populations.
Wonderful Platform’s technology has demonstrated meaningful impact through real-world deployments. In New York pilot programs, seniors using Avadin experienced a measurable reduction in loneliness, higher adherence to daily routines, improved emergency response accuracy, and greater engagement from family members. Across Korea, where more than 21,000 units have already been deployed, Avadin has accumulated over 79 million human-AI interactions, generating one of the world’s richest behavioral datasets for aging populations. These results position Avadin as a potential public health multiplier—improving quality of life while offering a path to reduce system-wide costs for providers, states, and national insurers.
As Wonderful Platform enters the U.S. market, the company is initiating discussions with venture capital partners specializing in AI, robotics, and healthcare innovation, and target to reach out to major insurers such as United Health, Humana, and Aetna/CVS. The company is also preparing collaborative models with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and state-level aging agencies to support vulnerable seniors, isolated veterans, and individuals at risk of cognitive or emotional decline.
