Four small sensors learn their daily routine and let you know when something changes. Daily summaries. Pattern detection. Alerts when it matters. Stay connected, wherever you are.
If you have a parent living alone, you probably check in more than they realise. Did she get up? Has he eaten? Is the heating on?
You ring every few days. She says she's fine. But a phone call only covers so much, and there are 23 other hours in the day. Millions of UK families have the same thought in the back of their mind.

Local by default. Sensor data never leaves the hub. AI insights are an optional add-on.
One incident isn't a crisis. What matters is pattern - a gradual change over weeks or months.
Post unopened, bins not taken out, dishes piling up.
House feels chilly, heating not managed well.
Moving more slowly, avoiding stairs, mentioning a fall.
Calling less, fewer activities, less engaged.
Missed medications, doors unlocked, meals skipped.
More frequent bathroom visits, restless nights, confusion.
Each day, Hearth turns raw sensor data into a clear picture of your parent's routine. Here's what that looks like.
Green banner means everything's normal. Hearth only reaches out when the routine breaks. Designed to be read in five seconds.
Normal routine today
Wake time, activity, and outings trending down over 8 days
Wake time drifting later (avg 8:20am, was 7:08am). Activity down 35% over 8 days. Outings dropped to 0.4/day. Night bathroom visits up from 1.2 to 2.4. Pattern consistent with possible UTI or functional change. Worth raising with the GP.

Most care tech uploads everything to the cloud. Hearth is different. All sensor data is processed and stored locally on the hub. If you choose to enable AI summaries and insights, aggregated daily metrics - not raw sensor data - are sent to generate plain-English reports. This is optional and off by default.
All sensor data is processed and stored on the Hearth hub. Raw sensor data never leaves the house. If you enable AI insights, only aggregated daily summaries are shared to generate reports - no names, no addresses, no raw data.
The hub calls out to show you the dashboard - but nothing from the internet can reach in. No settings to change on the router. No way for anyone to connect to the hub uninvited.
Our cloud service handles your account and software updates. If you enable AI insights, we also process aggregated activity summaries to generate plain-English reports. We never see raw sensor events.
Every remote diagnostic access is logged and visible to you. You can see exactly who accessed the hub and when. Transparency isn't optional - it's how we built it.
No cameras. No microphones. No GPS. No wearables. Nothing to wear, charge, or remember.
Every Hearth arrives pre-configured, paired, and tested. Plug it in, scan the QR code, done.
The home has a broadband router. Connect the hub to it using the included ethernet cable.
No broadband or wifi at the home? Choose this. Includes a 4G SIM, no router needed.
No upfront cost • Hardware returned on cancellation • Cancel anytime after 6 months
When you're done, we collect the hardware, refurbish it, and redeploy it to another family. Nothing goes to waste.
Absolutely not. Hearth uses only motion sensors, a presence sensor, and a door sensor. No cameras, no microphones, no video, and no audio of any kind.
Four rooms: kitchen (motion), bathroom (motion), bedroom (presence - can tell if someone is there even when sitting still), and the front door (open/close). From these four signals, Hearth builds a complete picture of the daily routine - wake time, room visits, outings, bathroom patterns, and sleep.
Nothing at all. The sensors work passively. No buttons, nothing to wear, nothing to charge. They simply live their life as normal.
All sensor data is processed and stored locally on the Hearth hub in your parent's home. Nothing is uploaded to the cloud by default. If you choose to enable AI-powered summaries, aggregated daily metrics (room visit counts, wake times, outing durations) are sent securely to generate plain-English reports. No raw sensor data, names, or addresses are included. You can enable or disable this at any time in Settings. The dashboard is accessed through a secure outbound-only tunnel - no ports are opened on the home router.
Three times a day, Hearth generates a plain-English summary of the day so far. For example: "Mum had a quiet morning - she got up around 8:30, a bit later than usual, and spent time in the kitchen. She went out mid-morning. Everything looks normal." You also get a weekly trend report that spots gradual changes over time. AI summaries are an optional feature - when enabled, aggregated activity data is sent securely to our AI provider. When disabled, you still receive activity data and rule-based alerts.
There are two plans. Hearth Standard is £19.99/month and uses your home broadband via ethernet. Hearth Cellular is £24.99/month and adds a 4G modem and SIM. The hub connects over ethernet as normal and automatically switches to 4G if broadband drops. Both plans include the hub, all four sensors, the app, AI summaries, and ongoing updates. No upfront hardware cost. Subscription starts when you scan the QR code and set up your Hearth at home, not when you order. The minimum commitment is 6 months, then cancel anytime. On cancellation, we send a pre-paid label to collect and refurbish the hardware.
Yes. The primary account holder can invite other family members by email. Each person gets their own app login and can set their own notification preferences. The whole care circle sees the same dashboard.
Hearth Standard requires a broadband connection. The hub plugs into the router via ethernet (cable included). Hearth Cellular includes a 4G modem and SIM: it uses ethernet as the primary connection and automatically switches to 4G if broadband drops, so monitoring never stops. Either way, the sensors themselves use Zigbee, a dedicated low-power wireless frequency completely separate from WiFi.
About 15 minutes. Plug the hub into the router (or power it on for 4G setups), stick each labelled sensor in its room (adhesive, no drilling), and scan the QR code on the hub with your phone. Everything is already paired before it arrives.
The hub always keeps monitoring and storing data locally, regardless of internet status. On Hearth Cellular, the hub switches to 4G automatically when broadband drops. You may not even notice. On Hearth Standard, the dashboard catches up when broadband returns. No data is ever lost either way.
Hearth was founded by a doctor with experience in elderly care and geriatric medicine. The detection logic is grounded in clinical research on how changes in daily routines - sleep patterns, kitchen activity, bathroom visits, mobility - signal changes in health before they become emergencies. Built in the UK.
