Why Mantie?
Many seniors want to continue living independently at home for as long as possible. At the same time, that independence also brings concerns — for themselves, but also for caregivers and loved ones. How can independent living remain safe? And how do you, as a loved one, know that everything is okay?
Solutions like alarm buttons and cameras may seem obvious, but often feel intrusive — especially for healthy and mobile seniors. Mantie chooses a different approach: technology that adapts to the senior, not the other way around. Without invading privacy and without anyone having to change their way of life.

Retaining freedom
Mantie starts with you as an elderly person. You want to live safely, but maybe you feel that an alarm button doesn’t suit your independence. Or you doubt whether you could operate the button, especially at that rare moment when you need help? Mantie doesn’t use technology that interferes with your daily life. It supports you unobtrusively in the background.
-
Attention to privacy
We understand that privacy is important. That’s why Mantie doesn’t use cameras, which record a lot of unnecessary information. Mantie only collects essential information to gain insight into your daily routine. Communication to caregivers only takes place when necessary or desired.
-
Insight where needed
Mantie specifically focuses on your indoor daily rhythm. Outdoors, there is usually enough social control to notice incidents and offer help.
That’s why the emphasis is on the place where you are least visible to others: at home. -
Personal daily routine
As a caregiver, you are not only informed about deviations from your loved one’s daily routine. Mantie also reports normal events, such as getting up or leaving the house. Notifications of normal activities provide extra peace of mind.
-
Flexible caregiving
Caregiving is often a joint effort. You decide which family members, friends, and/or acquaintances take on this care. The group of caregivers receives all notifications, can communicate with each other, and coordinate the right actions at the same time. This makes caring quick and efficient.
-
Affordable
To keep the solution accessible and sustainable, Mantie makes smart use of existing resources. Think of equipment and communication via a chat group. This ensures low costs and future-proofing.
