For aged care and communities

The problem
Too many older adults are living without enough meaningful connection.
Loneliness affects wellbeing, confidence and health. Yet the people responsible for supporting connection do not always know who needs it, what matters to them or what may help.
How Tellie works
A safety net built around the older adult.
Every conversation helps Tellie understand the person more deeply, so the people around them can know how and when to offer meaningful support for healthy ageing.
Designed around familiarity
Meet older adults where they are technologically.
This generation already knows how to make a phone call. Tellie begins there—using clear controls, voice-first interaction and accessibility settings instead of asking the person to learn a new digital behaviour.

- Local interests and unmet demand for activities, services and events
