Care Messenger

Care Messenger® is an innovative communications company focused on reducing isolation and loneliness among the elderly. It does so through solutions that address their social and psychological well-being using technology that is familiar and that they can easily cope with. They have developed a simple, TV-based messaging platform which allows families, landlords, and healthcare professionals to send text, image and video messages or chat from a mobile device or computer, directly to a television screen, overlaying the content so messages can’t be missed! In 2019 Care Messenger established a partnership with global electronics giant LG Electronics who have embedded the application into their hospitality and healthcare TV range and are attracting increasing interest in the solution across Europe and in the US. COVID has accelerated this interest at a time where the elderly are even more isolated and vulnerable and need to connect and interact simply and independently without the stress of having to learn anything new.
