Meet GenieConnect®
We are tackling the social care crisis and combating loneliness, enabling older people and adults with learning disabilities in our communities to live independently, feel more connected and with better mental health and wellbeing.
The Loneliness Epidemic
Discover how GenieConnect® is combating loneliness for older adults and people with learning disabilities
GenieConnect® is for local authorities and care providers focused on doing the right thing for the people in their communities who help older people and people with learning disabilities live independently, providing peace of mind to their families.
We are a purpose-driven business using tech to tackle the social care crisis that provides companionship and communication through our companion robot, Genie, to improve the quality of life for loved ones.
With a passion for providing accessible, inclusive and people-centred care for those who need it. Unlike other apps, smart speakers and technology care solutions don’t preserve our privacy and can be costly or hard to use.
Because we believe everyone in the society deserves to live happily at home for as long as they can wish to.
“Finding proven methods of delivering some care remotely is game-changing for the care industry. By doing this, we are enabling care providers to do what they tell us they want; to deliver more and better care”
Rob Parkes, CEO

GenieConnect® Ecosystem
Putting companionship at the heart
The GenieConnect® ecosystem is leading the future of remote care by:
DIGITAL EQUALITY
Enabling connected communities
We now live in a digital first world where many daily tasks are now done using technology for example, online shopping, banking and social media. However, older adults and people with learning disabilities often struggle to access and use digital tools. This is where we come in.
GenieConnect® aims to safely break down these barriers with a simple user interface, engaging content and easy connections to friends, family and professional support.
REDUCING LONELINESS
Cultivating a sense of belonging
GenieConnect® assists adults at greatest risk of loneliness with remote care services using a digital companion robot. Its supports social interactions with virtual video calling via the companion application, and connects to family members, carers, healthcare services and other Genie users.
TAKING CARE OF OUR CARE WORKERS
New opportunities to match demand
GenieConnect® offers light touch remote care services using a simple care portal to deliver accessible, connected services to adults in their homes. These services enable quality care, and improve operational and financial performance for social care providers while reaching more adults from the comfort of the carer’s home or office. GenieConnect® removes the travel demand on carers, and delivers peace of mind, flexible working and career fulfilment.
