Babbl helps older adults stay independent for longer. Not by taking things over, but by helping in whatever way suits the moment.
Letters, appointments, forms: more and more happens through apps, websites and login codes. Not everyone wants to, or can, deal with that every day.
Most people want to live in their own home and manage their own affairs for as long as possible. That deserves support, not a takeover.
The village car service, the neighbourhood team, a grocery delivery service: there is a lot. But the people who need it often don’t know where to start.
Staying independent doesn’t mean you have to do everything alone. Sometimes you sort something out yourself, sometimes together with someone you trust, and sometimes a little extra help is welcome.
It isn’t a staircase that only goes one way. Someone who wants a little help today may well do it themselves again tomorrow. It depends on the situation, not on a label attached to the person.
Babbl started with conversations: with older adults, families and people working in community support. The first prototypes are now on the table and the software is being built.
The next step is using Babbl with the people we are making it for, and taking an honest look at what works and what doesn’t.
Babbl helps, suggests and asks. You make the decisions.
No one can pay to be recommended by Babbl.
We don’t promise more than Babbl can do. Babbl is not an alarm system and not a medical device.
Your keys stay in your device. You decide what you share. More about privacy
Making something simple is harder than making something complicated. We choose simplicity.
Babbl doesn’t replace people. It helps you find your way to family, neighbours and organisations that are already there.
Whether you would like to try Babbl or contribute ideas on behalf of an organisation: we would love to hear from you.
