TCS partner with SINTEF to deploy AI for improving elderly care

Hyderabad, Nov 11 (UNI) Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, on Tuesday announced a partnership with Norwegian research and development company SINTEF—one of Europe's largest, independent research foundations, to deploy Artificial Intelligence (AI) for improving elderly care.
Drawing on TCS’s extensive experience in deploying Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital solutions for clients in industries such as healthcare, energy, and smart cities, and SINTEF’s strong research capabilities, the partnership aims to create scalable, real-world innovations.
Together, they will focus on using Social AI to improve elderly care, building on SINTEF’s successful eHealth initiative, SMILE (Smart Inclusive Living Environments), the IT giant said in a release.
SMILE is a platform designed to help senior citizens live independently and safely in their own homes. It acts as both a communication tool and a support system, connecting seniors with family members, caregivers, and even peers in their community.
By enabling easy communication, reminders and access to health services, SMILE fosters active living and social engagement.
With multidisciplinary expertise within technology, natural sciences and social sciences, SINTEF works to create innovation through development and research assignments for business and the public sector in Norway and abroad.
Alexandra Bech Gjørv, President and CEO of SINTEF, said, “ SINTEF shares similar values, and I believe that together, we can improve the quality of life and help the elderly in Norway to be able to stay healthy, in the comfort of their homes much longer. We are looking forward to collaborating with TCS.”

By combining advanced research and with digital technology, the platform not only improves elderly care but also sets the stage for smarter more inclusive healthcare solutions in the future.
Sapthagiri Chapalapalli, Head of Europe at Tata Consultancy Services, said, “ Combining the academia research, TCS’ deep domain expertise and experience of implementing AI strategies will be turning ideas into action."
"Together with SINTEF, the identification of specific, practical AI use cases that address real business challenges focusing into usability and human-centric approach will become to full circle. Our digital technologies will add scale and speed to SINTEF’s research and innovation activities, enabling these projects to have an even greater reach and impact for society,” he added.
