Meet GenieConnect®
GenieConnect® enables the delivery of more flexible and better-quality care to combat loneliness and isolation, enabling independent living and reducing demand on our health and social care providers.
Mental Health Awareness Week: Loneliness
9th May – 15th May 2022
Discover how GenieConnect® is combating loneliness for older adults and people with learning disabilities
The challenges within the social care system can lead to adults being isolated, and social care workers overwhelmed. A fresh approach to social care is essential to addressing these challenges.
Through GenieConnect®, health and social care providers are discovering a new way to deliver light touch, remote, home care solutions that can bridge the gap between resource and demand, improving operational and financial performance whilst delivering high quality care.
“Finding proven methods of delivering some care remotely is game-changing for the care industry. By doing this, we are enabling care workers 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.

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.
