Join a world-first tech startup to reinvent dementia care and advance outcomes
Why
Dementia is Australia's
second leading cause of death
and impacts
1 in 10 Australians
, who are either living with dementia or care for someone who is. Despite strong recommendations from the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, and numerous research findings highlighting the
gaps in quality dementia care, professionals are unable to deliver the care our partners, parents, grandparents, uncles, aunties and friends need
.
This is because they simply
don't have the time nor the ability
to navigate their clients through the
complex dementia journey
in an equally
complex care system
.
What we do?
We are the
world's smart first digital dementia guide
that enables professionals to deliver best practice care easier and with confidence, whilst saving them time, reducing stress and reducing risk (learn more here).
As a social enterprise and
passion project
, we work towards ensuring
all people
impacted by dementia are supported and are
able to live well
with dementia.
We also play a
pivotal role in bringing innovation
to a sector that has lagged behind. As a result, we have won numerous grants with
wide industry recognition
(learn more here).
