Preventative care platform

Living well at home.
On your terms.
Before anything goes wrong.

Assistiv Services is for the people who fall between existing services. Managing independently, but one event from crisis. We provide the support, tools, and connections that help people stay in control — chosen by them, at their pace, centred on what they actually want.

For the person at home

Margaret, 78, Faversham. Lives alone. Manages well most days. Worries about the nights. Her daughter worries more. No one has suggested anything helpful until now.

For the family

David, carer, lives 60 miles away. Calls every evening. Cannot always tell if she is really fine or being reassuring. Would give anything for visibility without intrusion.

For the referral partner

PCN Social Prescribing Link Worker. Sees people who need support before they need services. Needs somewhere safe and dignified to refer them that isn't a waiting list.

"The goal is not to remove dependency. It is to make it chosen."
Positive Interdependence — Assistiv design philosophy
What we deliver

Technology that serves the person. Not the system.

Every Assistiv service begins with a conversation — not a form, not an assessment, not a risk matrix. The person says what matters to them. Technology, if any, is introduced only in response to what they have named. Nothing is activated without explicit agreement. Everything is reversible.

🎙️
Conversational Check-ins
A warm, unhurried monthly conversation across six quality-of-life domains. Adaptive, non-clinical, designed to surface what matters without pressure or clinical framing. The person speaks freely, in their own words.
🏠
Passive Home Safety
Discreet mmWave radar and acoustic monitoring detects falls, changes in movement patterns, and nocturnal risk — without cameras, without wearables, without anything to remember or charge. Invisible in operation.
👨‍👩‍👧
Inner Circle
A private family platform connecting the person to the people they trust. Photos, voice notes, shared moments, and — with consent — gentle visibility into how things really are at home. No surveillance. No alarm bells. Just connection.
📋
Care Coordination
A digital care wallet holding the person's preferences, history, and care information — accessible to whoever they choose. Structured referrals when needed. A single coherent picture in place of fragmented records.
🔗
Community Connections
Social prescribing links, local voluntary sector connections, and community resources matched to what the person has said they want — not what the system decides they need. Meaningful activity, not managed decline.
📊
Household Intelligence
At-a-glance home environment monitoring — temperature, appliance safety, security status — surfaced to the person and, with their consent, to family. A quiet reassurance, not a control mechanism.
How it begins

Design Your Life.
Not a care plan.

The onboarding conversation is not an assessment. It is an invitation. The person sets the agenda. They name what independence means to them, what they want to protect, and what they are open to. Everything Assistiv does flows from that.

Sensors and technology are only ever introduced in direct response to something the person has said they want. Not a package. Not a default. A response to a named need, at a pace that feels right.

01
A warm conversation about everyday life
What matters to you? What does a good day look like? No clinical framing, no assessment language. Just listening.
02
You name what you want to protect
Your morning routine. Your garden. Your independence in the kitchen. The things that make home, home.
03
Assistiv responds to what you've said
If you mentioned the nights, we might suggest the movement sensor. Only then. Only because you named it.
04
Everything is reversible, always
Change your mind. Remove a sensor. Leave Inner Circle. The system follows you — not the other way around.
Design principles

Privacy and dignity are not features.
They are the architecture.

Every technology choice is filtered through one question: does this serve the person's independence, or does it quietly undermine it? Assistiv is not surveillance. It is infrastructure that people choose, on their own terms, for their own reasons.

The person is always the author
Nothing is activated without explicit agreement. Nothing is shared without consent. The person controls what is monitored and who can see it. Assistiv follows where they lead.
No cameras. No wearables. No burden.
Assistiv is invisible in operation. Nothing to remember, nothing to charge, nothing that broadcasts vulnerability. Passive by default, intrusive never.
Saying no is a valid outcome
A person who declines is not a failed engagement. They are exercising agency. The platform honours this at every step, without pressure or reframing.
Data processed at home, owned by the person
Derived signals, not raw data, are the only things that travel. The Iron Curtain architecture keeps home data and wellness data strictly separated. The person holds the keys.
Positive interdependence
Voluntarily releasing small autonomies to trusted carers and services as life evolves is healthy, not a failure. Assistiv gives people informed choice over how and when to accept help — on their own terms.
Graduated by design
A person can begin with a conversation and nothing else. Technology is introduced incrementally, chosen by them, for reasons they have named. Always reversible. Never imposed.
Inner Circle

The people who matter,
connected with care.

Inner Circle is the private family layer of the Assistiv platform. A dedicated space for the people the person trusts — not a monitoring dashboard, not a notification feed, but a place where family can stay genuinely connected.

📷
Shared moments, not alerts
Photos, voice notes, and messages in a private family space — the texture of daily life, shared on the person's terms.
👶
Grandchildren included
Child-friendly access means the youngest family members can be part of the circle — not just the worried adults.
📖
Memories
A structured digital life record, family-contributed, connected to reminiscence and memory support where needed.
