The Bigger Picture
On a macro scale, Neurological conditions are the leading cause of ill health and disability worldwide.
The cost of adult social care was £27bn in the UK in 2021/22; Keeping people living independently is the best way to tackle this cost.
The UN has set a goal to promote the social and economic inclusion of all people at all ages and central to this is the ability to live independently.
Dexterity is key to maintaining independent living, if someone is unable to carry out everyday activities they are unable to live independently.
That's why we created Blossom.
