What we do
What we do
In our vision of the future, more and more people will grow old in their own homes. To make this possible, we need to change the approach to how we care for them. We believe that the virtual care home will become the norm and that's why we have already started to work on it today.
The first building block for our vision is to bridge the digital divide between the possibilities of the digital world and people who can't/don't want to use a smartphone. In the last eight years, we developed CARU care - a digital flatmate that provides access to digital services via voice.
"People want to grow old at home independently and actively.
Technology will be used to provide them with decentralized care. At the moment, we are therefore at the beginning of a massive transformation towards digital care.
CARU care is a state-of-the-art technology hardware-software platform to provide a reliable and simple interface between all stakeholders, enabling the digital care of the future."
Susanne Dröscher & Thomas Helbling, Co-Founders of CARU
Who we are
Who we are
CARU is a Swiss company that was founded in 2017 to bring peace of mind to our aging society. We are located in a beautiful area in the heart of Zurich.
We are a small team and value a close community with weekly meetings and regular get-togethers.
Working at CARU is highly meaningful from day one. We provide a working environment where you can grow both personally and professionally.
Our products are CARU care (www.caru-care.com - smart care alarm system) and CARU air (www.caruair.com - CO2 monitor).
How we work
How we work
Our software engineers are part of a small, distributed team of dedicated crafts(wo)men. We already have team members located in Switzerland and Italy.
Because of our small team size, we heavily rely on automation. We fully embrace continuous integration and strive to achieve continuous delivery.
We give our engineers the autonomy they need by letting them organize themselves during our four-week sprints. At the same time, we encourage techniques like (remote) pair programming and code reviews.
Our principles:
CARU care - The simplest, safest, and most delightful home emergency call solution.
The elderly user is at the center of everything we do.
We drive innovation together with our partners.
