Description: Unobtrusive home monitoring for peace-of-mind. Memo is a digital telecare platform, putting the individual and family at the centre. As a family member or friend, use the Memo app to keep up-to-date with the day-to-day activity of your loved one; use the tailored activity stream to monitor the things you care about, gain reassurance with updates that let you know Mum is going about her normal routine. Customise your alerts to send a notification about the things that worry you, so if something out of the ordinary happens, you know about it. Over time Memo will learn what’s normal using AI, and lets you know when anything out of the ordinary happens.

NHSX, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and the Ministry for Housing Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) have announced 18 innovative digital solutions being awarded up to £25,000 under the TechForce19 challenge.
