Invite a willing care group to map a routine such as preparing for an outing, including the person's own choices.

Aged Care Support Systems
Give older people more control over everyday support, while making the work of care teams easier.
Follow the connections. Choose your direction.
The need worth working on.
A missed handover, confusing appointment or hard-to-reach light switch can make an ordinary day unnecessarily difficult. Start with older people describing the parts of home life they want to keep doing for themselves. Family expectations, staff workload and the person's own wishes may differ; the service must make those differences discussable.
What the enterprise could offer.
Explore a support service combining accessible reminders, simple environmental controls and a clear human handover. The first product could be a well-designed coordination tool rather than a robot. Women who have delivered years of paid or unpaid care would shape the product and hold decision-making roles, with accessibility built into procurement and support.
People to build with
- Older people directing their own support
- Care workers and service coordinators
- Family members invited by the person
One everyday routine, designed together
Prototype the reminder and handover with paper screens and existing accessible devices before collecting sensitive information.
Try the workflow with consenting adults, a named support person and a clear way to stop the trial.
Compare missed steps, time spent coordinating and whether participants feel more independent.
The first result
An accessible service walkthrough, a tested handover template and a short account of what participants would change.
What needs to be demonstrated.
Practical pilot
The starting evidence
The planning document places care and useful AI alongside women's executive development. It does not identify a functioning care product.
The open question
Whether the proposed workflow helps people without increasing supervision, alerts or dependence on technology.
The next measurement
User-rated control over the routine, completed handovers and coordinator time against the previous process.
Build the means to deliver.
Useful capabilities and resources
- Paid lived-experience advisers
- Accessibility design and care-practice review
- A named human support contact
A possible business model
Explore a service agreement with a care provider or a supported household, priced around setup, training and ongoing help. Test willingness to pay separately from need.
A leadership decision to practise
The founder must decide which tasks technology may assist and which decisions remain with the person and qualified care staff.
People, consequences and decisions.
- An alert could be mistaken for a guarantee of safety.
- Family convenience could override the older person's choice.
- Sensitive household information could be shared too broadly.
If equality were being designed now...
- Which everyday routines do older women want to control themselves, and where do they want human help?
- Would clearer handovers reduce unpaid coordination for carers without overriding the older person's choices?
Begin with women's own experiences across bodies, ages, cultures and places. Invite disagreement and choose a practical change together.

From the original suggestion to a working brief.
Original concept from 500 Queens VC NEW Long, slide 15; current context from the September 2026 planning document. This expanded brief and pilot are proposed development, not evidence of an operating enterprise or confirmed partnership.
Original title: Aged Care Support Systems. The pilot, business model and learning connections on this page are proposed developments of that original idea.
