Company Description
Improving later life by saving memories and putting human stories at the heart of care.
So many life stories of older people are unknown to their families and their carers - the very people we task with providing person-centred care. And this is a worry, because this could be any of us. We’re all getting older and, with 1 in 4 of us projected to be over 65 by 2040, we’re all part of an ageing population. So we asked, why do memories get lost and how does this impact our chances of ageing healthily? The statistics around later life are pretty daunting, but one in particular stood out for us: 360,000 older people haven't had a conversation with friends or family for over a week. But why does this happen, when we've never been more connected? The problem is that we’re so absorbed in our own lives - with college, careers, kids - that we switch off thoughts of later life. And care staff are rushed off their feet with paperwork and duplication of tasks that take up hours - time that could be spent really getting to know the human stories of the people in their care. So, we’ve created a solution using technology that does two things to help reconnect families and communities with older people and improve later life for all of us: First, we provide the public with a free to use App to celebrate the life stories of older people and share memories with those who matter most, with a personal timeline of photographs and stories and by connecting family and friends wherever they are in the world. Second, working with care staff we’ve co-designed a platform that puts human stories at the heart of care. Easy to use it will save organisations money and time by digitizing information and tasks. But most importantly, it provides a way to deliver better care by getting to know the whole person, connecting their past, present and future. What makes Remarkable Lives really powerful is this: the Care platform and the public App CONNECT, they speak to each other, which means everyone’s connected.. This is person-centred care.
