Context

On 27 August 2025 the Bahamian government's Public Hospitals Authority (PHA) launched the Remember 2 (RM2.ai) pilot out of the Geriatric Hospital's gerontology clinic in Nassau, enrolling 100 elderly patients for eight weeks.

Objectives

The pilot aims to use AI-linked smartwatches to monitor elderly patients' vitals, send medication and appointment reminders, flag emerging health issues, alert family members in emergencies, and help locate seniors with dementia who wander ('elopement').

Activities

Each participant received a smartwatch linked to the RM2.ai app, co-founded by Bahamian innovator Corlette Deveaux, with the Bahamas Telecommunications Company (BTC) assisting participants with device setup and connectivity. Minister of Health and Wellness Dr Michael Darville spoke at the launch, framing the pilot as a complement to, not a replacement for, human care.

Results

As a government-run pilot this is well documented at launch — named officials, a named statutory lead agency, and a defined 100-patient, eight-week scope, reported independently by two national newspapers in addition to the government's own release. No outcome data (hospitalisation reductions, falls avoided, caregiver burden) has been published, and no independent privacy-impact assessment of the continuous vitals and location tracking could be found.
