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).
