Do you want to ensure that your loved one can live independently in their home for as long as possible?

Are you increasingly concerned about an elderly parent who lives independently at home?

Do you feel confident that your elderly loved one is not ready for residential care but just need some assurance that all is well when you’re away?

Do you want to be armed with the data you need to prevent incidents before they occur?

Do you want a way of communicating with your loved ones in real-time when they’re at home, even when they don’t have their phone to hand?

We know you don’t want technology to replace you just to aid and support you in keeping your loved one safe, that’s why we created habita.

Why We’re Building habita

Our team is on a personal mission to make aging safer, smarter, and more dignified.

Mike Lawton - Founder

Why am I so passionate about this? Because it’s the realisation of a 20-year dream—to have a technology that lets us care for loved ones from afar. The idea’s been with me for decades, just waiting for the right tech—advanced sensors, fast internet—and the right team to bring it to life. Now, we finally have all the pieces: the technology, the talent, and perfect timing.

For me, this would have changed everything. Living far from my aging parents, I often worried. They’d reassure me everything was fine, even when it wasn’t. If this technology had existed back then, I believe they could have stayed independent longer—and I would have had the peace of mind I desperately needed. It’s like having a digital, always-there neighbour—quietly looking out for the people you love.

Katrina Douglas - CEO

At 99, my grandfather was happy and active, with mild memory loss. As his condition worsened, my family knew moving him from his home would accelerate his decline. But keeping him there safely required costly 24/7 care—without real-time insights. That’s why I believe in habita. It offers families an affordable way to keep loved ones safe at home longer, with more peace of mind than we ever had.

Stephen Ringler - CTO

I am so passionate about habita because I am convinced it will save lives. The technology embedded in habita can detect early arising health problems that would normally go unnoticed. For example, it could detect change in speech, sleep, and movement patterns. I’m convinced my recent relative that passed away in their early 60’s would still be with us if habita were in their house. Symptoms included dragging feet and slurring speech which others didn’t detect until it was too late. habita could have detected these symptoms and suggested getting to a doctor soonest.

Masako - Market Expansion (Japan)

There are two key reasons I’m passionate about habita. First, as someone living in the UK with aging parents in Japan, habita would give me peace of mind by keeping me informed if anything happens—like a fall. Second, my parents wouldn’t want to wear or carry devices. habita respects that, quietly monitoring without disrupting their daily lives.
