About Birdie
Birdie is a pioneer in social innovation. Our Vision is to build a society in which we all age with confidence.
We’re on a mission to reinvent care so that older generations can age safely in their own homes, surrounded by their families and their communities.
We’ve built a holistic technology platform to support care professionals and families in enhancing care for older adults living at home. We help care professionals deliver better, tailored care thanks to a suite of digital tools and services. We ensure our elders are safer at home thanks to home connected devices. We’re building the digital care companion so desperately needed by families caring for their loved ones. It’s not only reactive care: thanks to the data collected, we predict and prevent health issues in the elderly.
Our values are to demonstrate our commitment through our actions: we care; we succeed together; we grow individually and strive for excellence; we are smart, brave and ambitious; and we nurture fun and a little quirkiness. Our culture is one of a flat, flexible, close-knit & transparent organisation, and were proud about it.
