The platform for
independent living.

Built for the 55 million people technology forgot.

The digital world has never offered more — streaming, food delivery, video calls, live sport. And for 55 million people living with dementia, it has never been more out of reach. Compass changes that.

Why we built this
"My Dad spent his whole career helping vulnerable people navigate complicated systems. Now he can't navigate his own TV."
David, Founder of Compass Product Manager · Son · Building this for Keith

Keith is 65. He spent much of his working life as a welfare rights officer — helping people who'd fallen through the cracks of complex systems find their way back. He once attended a conference where Andy Burnham was speaking. He believed in fairness. He fought for it every day.

Keith was diagnosed with dementia at 63, though the signs were there long before that. He loves football. He loves watching sport. He loves ordering a good meal and watching a film. Things all of us take for granted.

"He used technology confidently every day at work for decades. Now he can't get past the login screen. It's not that he's forgotten how to live — the technology has just made it impossible for him to."

Keith isn't alone. There are 55 million people worldwide in exactly the same position. Every streaming service, food delivery app, and video calling platform has been built for everyone except them.

Compass was built by a son who couldn't find the right tool for his own father. So he built it. And now we're making it available to everyone who needs it.

It's not lost on us that Andy Burnham — now Prime Minister — has spoken openly about his own family's experience with Alzheimer's and has made dementia care a central commitment of his government. The moment for this couldn't be more important.

The problem

Technology that was supposed
to help has made things worse.

The streaming wars gave us infinite content and impenetrable interfaces. Every provider has its own app, its own login, its own billing surprises. For someone with dementia, it's not just frustrating — it's a wall.

"Want to watch this app? That's an extra subscription fee. Oh, and we just billed you — didn't you notice?"
"Your TV needs a software update. Figure it out before you can continue watching."
"We've made your favourite channels available — inside a UI full of buying decisions you don't know are in front of you."
"Sure, there are dementia-friendly remotes. But they offer accessibility for the few, not the many. A very limited number of channels. Some tailor-made content that is, in actual fact, rather condescending." — Alzheimer's Society community forum
The solution

One screen.
Every service.
Zero confusion.

Compass sits in front of all the complexity. Big, warm, simple tiles. No passwords. No billing decisions. No app-switching. Just life — the way it should be. The person using it doesn't need to learn a new interface for every service. That complexity lives in Compass — invisible to them.

🍽️
Order Food
A helper pre-configures favourite restaurants and meals. The person taps, sees their favourites, and requests with one tap. The helper is notified instantly and places the order on their behalf. No payment screens. No confusion.
📺
Watch TV
A helper bookmarks every favourite channel and streaming service — iPlayer, ITVX, Sky, Netflix and more. One tap takes them straight there. No URLs to remember, no passwords to type. Everything they love, one screen away.
📅
My Schedule
A helper builds a simple daily diary. The person opens Compass and sees exactly what's on today — appointments, meals, calls — clearly laid out and always up to date.
📋
What I've Done
A running activity log that helps the person recall their day — and helps helpers have honest, grounded conversations about what's actually happened. Memory, shared.
🎤
Voice Control
"Order my usual." "Watch BBC One." "What's on today?" Every feature is accessible by voice. No tapping required — just talking, naturally, in plain English.
🎵
My Music  Coming soon
Music reaches parts of the mind that nothing else can. We're building a music feature that surfaces a person's favourite artists, decades and playlists — one tap away. For many people with dementia, a familiar song unlocks a world.
📸
My Memories  Coming soon
A curated photo space that helpers fill with familiar faces, places and moments. Reminiscence is one of the most powerful tools in dementia care — a photo of a grandchild or a beloved pet can ground and calm in ways words simply cannot.
📞
Call Someone  Coming soon
One tap to reach the people that matter most. We're building direct calling into Compass so there's no dialling, no finding contacts — just the people they love, instantly reachable.
The technology

Not a workaround.
A platform.

Compass is built to be the single interface between a person and everything they need. Our roadmap is direct API integration with the big providers — so orders are placed, content is launched and calls are made without the user ever seeing another screen.

🔗
API integration roadmap
Our vision is direct integration with major food delivery, streaming, music and communications platforms — placing orders, launching content and making calls on behalf of the user, with zero friction. This is where we're heading.
🧠
Built to learn over time
Our roadmap includes AI-driven personalisation — so Compass adapts to each person the more they use it, without them ever having to configure a setting.
🎤
Voice-first by design
Built from day one for voice interaction. No small print, no hidden menus. If you can say it, Compass can do it.
📱
Any device, anywhere
Tablet, phone, desktop, TV. Compass works wherever Keith is, and wherever his helper is. One platform, fully connected.

How it works

Simple by design.
Powerful underneath.

1
A helper sets it up
Takes about ten minutes. Add favourite meals, bookmark TV channels, build today's schedule. Done once — personalised forever.
2
They open Compass
One PIN. Five big, friendly tiles. Exactly what they need — nothing they don't. No learning curve, ever.
3
They choose what they want
Order food, watch TV, check the schedule, see what they've done — by tapping or just saying it out loud.
4
The helper steps in
For food orders, the helper gets an instant alert and places it on their behalf. The person gets peace of mind. Everyone stays connected.
