Meanwhile, caregiver shortages — roughly 260K direct-care workers short in the U.S., 220K in Japan, 130K in Korea — landed at the same time. AI elderly care tech is industrializing fast. Papa raised a $150M Series D for companion matching, Honor (now merged with Home Instead) runs about 1M hours of in-home care every week. Cherry Labs sells AI fall detection to SNFs and homes; Tellus You Care does wearable-free 60GHz radar monitoring. In Korea, the Hyodol AI doll has reached about 10,000 households, and LG U+ TtokDdok Doldol covers ~120K seniors with IoT sensors. In Japan, PARO therapeutic seal is in elderly facilities across 30 countries, and Lovot opened the home companion market. This article walks through more than 80 tools, the policy stack, and the clinical evidence in one flow.

AI 노인 돌봄 테크가 빠르게 산업화되었다. Papa는 동반자 매칭으로 시리즈 D 1.5억 달러를 받았고, Honor는 Home Instead와 합병해 100만 시간/주 가정 케어를 운영한다. Cherry Labs는 AI 낙상 감지로 SNF·홈에 진출했고, Tellus You Care는 60GHz 레이더로 웨어러블 없는 모니터링을 한다. 한국은 효돌(Hyodol) AI 인형이 약 1만 가구에 배포되었고, LG U+ "똑똑 돌봄"이 IoT 센서로 독거노인 약 12만 명을 커버한다. 일본은 PARO 치료용 물범 로봇이 30개국 노인요양시설에 도입되었고, Lovot이 가정용 동반자 시장을 열었다. 이 글은 그 80여 개 도구와 정책, 임상 근거를 한 흐름으로 정리한다.
