How St. Francis Health Services is Transforming Resident Care with Pepper and Mobii

At OMi, we are always inspired to see how our interactive projection systems make a real difference in care environments around the world. A recent episode of Breakfast Bytes from St. Francis Health Services highlights just that — showcasing how the Mobii interactive projector and the humanoid robot Pepper are working side by side to reshape patient experiences in senior living and skilled nursing.

In Episode 6, “How Pepper and Mobii Improve Patient Experience,” Autumn Herzog and Dr. Cami Peterson-DeVries share how the introduction of these technologies has brought meaningful change to both staff and residents.

Enhancing Engagement and Memory Support

The Mobii interactive projector has become a valuable tool for stimulating memory, encouraging movement, and creating shared moments of joy. By projecting engaging activities onto a table or floor, Mobii gives residents opportunities for playful interaction, reminiscence, and sensory stimulation — supporting cognitive health and emotional wellbeing.

Alongside this, Pepper the robot is helping to provide companionship, conversation, and daily enrichment, creating a unique blend of human-centred technology in care.

Real Benefits for Staff and Residents

Autumn and Dr. Peterson-DeVries explained how introducing Pepper and Mobii has:

• Boosted resident engagement and participation

• Supported memory recall and reminiscence therapy

• Created new opportunities for companionship and connection

• Improved daily practices for care staff, making activities more inclusive and accessible

These innovations are not just adding novelty — they are improving quality of life and offering staff powerful tools to support holistic care.

A Glimpse into the Future of Care

The collaboration at St. Francis Health Services demonstrates how robotics and interactive technology can bring both enrichment and humanity to senior care. For residents, it means more laughter, stimulation, and companionship. For staff, it means better resources for creating meaningful activities that support emotional, physical, and cognitive wellbeing.

At OMi, we’re proud that the Mobii is playing a central role in this movement, helping care organisations worldwide bring joy, connection, and innovation into their communities.
