A world where people experience enhanced wellbeing, independence, and connected communities

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.

Our Mission

To enhance the quality of life for those in need by fostering independence, promoting personalised care, and creating connected communities. We strive to be at the forefront of transformative healthcare solutions, leveraging technology to bridge gaps, improve accessibility, and contribute to a future where everyone can enjoy a higher standard of well-being.

The World Requires Fresh Thinking

Home-First Approach

Home care emerges as a beacon, fostering better health outcomes at a lower cost. A 2021 study revealed that care at home rivals or surpasses residential care, with 9 out of 10 individuals aged 65+ expressing a preference for home care over residential options.

Addressing The Demand

As our lifespan extends, with 30% of today's newborns anticipated to reach over 100 years and a projected 23% of the global population hitting 65+ by the century's end (up from the current 9%), the challenge is clear: ageing is a universal experience, but our approach to care needs a transformative shift.

Tech Enabled Care

Embracing the future, technology adds a layer of intelligence to home care, providing personalised, predictive, and preventive solutions. From tailored reminders and wellbeing assistance, we're now leveraging this technology to increase independence, enhance moods, and prevent illness.

Unlocking Independence for All

Recognising that a substantial portion of this community is of working age, care and support must bridge the gap between potential and opportunity. Through tailored support and innovative solutions, we cultivate an environment where each person can thrive independently, breaking down barriers that hinder their personal and professional growth.

Combatting the Loneliness Epidemic

Loneliness, a pervasive concern in this community, demands urgent attention. Beyond mere care, technology catalyses connection. Smart solutions can foster social inclusion, address communication barriers, and provide meaningful engagement.

A Smarter, Inclusive Tomorrow

We are committed to the well-being and potential of those with learning disabilities and envision a smarter, more inclusive tomorrow. Through living prompts, reminders, and emotional wellbeing check-ins, we can build a world where everyone has the tools and support to lead fulfilling lives, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose for all.
