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.

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, we rely heavily 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:
Focus: the benefit for aging users is at the center of all we do.
Partnership: we drive innovation together with our partners.
Simplicity: we absorb the complexity so others don't feel it.
Trust: all our actions must help maintain or increase the trust placed in us.
