Many of us have first-hand experience of the social care system. Anthropos was born because we had the skills to help carers, families and most importantly, those who need assistance.
Anthropos was formed by two companies with a wealth of experience in delivering large technology programmes in the NHS, security and defence.
Our management team has already been very successful in creating smart platforms over the last five years: we managed the design, development and implementation of the ‘Hive’ connected home offering by British Gas, now installed in over 660,000 homes in the UK and the USA.
The platform was five years in the making, with early versions of the platform already implemented in healthcare, social care, probation services, research, call centres and clinics in the UK and Scandinavia.
Our team has experienced the care system and witnessed the challenges faced by older people and care providers. Knowing the power of the platform, our teams set to identify how to use unobtrusive sensors to gather data that would enable better insights into what happens when someone is by themselves.
The team is continuing to develop the service by collaborating with academic innovators and researchers in eight leading institutions, including the University of Oxford, Imperial College London, The University of Warwick and University of Twente in The Netherlands.
