About Us

Founded in 2023 with the mission of improving wellbeing for all – both carers and patients – through technology, the AUTONOMOUS solution was born with the goal to comprise assistive living solution with particular focus in routine, activity monitoring and even falls detection.

The AUTONOMOUS team is made up of designers and researchers specialised in participatory design and developing technology for people with dementia that better their lives.
