Terms of Service
Service Description
Care Plans provides automated client monitoring through scheduled AI-powered phone calls using emotional analysis technology to assess client well-being during recovery periods. All monitoring calls are conducted by artificial intelligence systems. Our service supplements carer support but does not replace professional medical care or human carers.
AI Technology Disclosure
Important: All client monitoring calls are conducted by AI systems, not human operators. The AI uses advanced technology to analyse voice patterns, emotional indicators, and responses to assess client wellbeing. While our AI is trained to detect signs of distress or changes in condition, it is not a substitute for human judgment or professional medical assessment.
Large Language Models (LLMs) and Continuous Improvement
Care Plans utilises multiple Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI technologies to provide the most empathetic and effective monitoring experience. Our system:
- Employs various state-of-the-art LLMs that are continuously updated and improved by their providers
- Regularly trials and evaluates new AI models to identify the most empathetic and accurate solutions
- Adapts to technological advances to enhance client interaction quality and health assessment accuracy
- May switch between different AI models to optimise performance for specific client needs
Notice: As we implement improved AI technologies, the nature of client interactions may evolve. Users will be notified of significant changes to our AI systems that may affect service delivery.
