Be My Eyes Expands into the Assisted Living and Care Sector with AI-Powered Accessibility Tools<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – August 15th, 2025 \u2014 Be My Eyes, the world\u2019s leading Customer Accessibility Management platform for people who are blind or have low vision, today announced its official launch within the assisted living and elder care sector, bringing cutting-edge AI assistance, live video support, and family connectivity tools to assisted living, care homes and home care providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The need is urgent: according to the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB)<\/a>, over 50% of care home residents are blind or have low vision, yet many care environments are still built around the needs of sighted residents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result is a daily cycle of small but time-consuming requests that residents would rather not be making, but staff still need to respond to, even when it distracts from more important care giving activities. Simple things like reading menus, navigating activity timetables, or completing paperwork can all chip away at residents\u2019 autonomy and dignity, as well as valuable staff time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the sector faces a triple lock challenge: critical staff shortages, rising costs, and a growing elderly population. Be My Eyes\u2019 accessibility tools help break that cycle, freeing up staff for higher-value care and empowering residents to live more independently and helping restore a sense of dignity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Complete Accessibility Toolkit for Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Service AI <\/strong>\u2013 Instantly interprets printed or visual information using the resident\u2019s smartphone camera, from menus and letters to appliance settings \u2014 resolving up to 90% of requests without the need for human intervention <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Service Connect<\/strong> \u2013 Provides secure, one-way video, two-way audio calls with live care staff or trained agents for complex visual tasks, enabling real-time assistance even when staff are otherwise busy or off-site <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Private Groups<\/strong> \u2013 Lets residents invite family and friends as trusted visual helpers, fostering connection and reducing routine calls to staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits for Residents, Families, and Providers <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
