Umps

We've reimagined the personal alarm. Safety at your fingertips without compromising on style.

Umps is a Victorian health-tech company redefining the personal alarm industry to help older adults and NDIS participants stay safe, independent and healthy at home for longer. Our flagship product, the Umps Link Home Alarm, is the culmination of six years of dedicated research and development, designed in collaboration with some of the largest aged care providers in Victoria and older adults. The

personal alarm pendant weighs just 12 grams, doesn’t require charging and is fully reimbursable under the Home Care Package Program, geat2GO and the NDIS. Umps is also transforming aged care delivery by partnering with home care providers and retirement villages. Our innovative monitoring and communication solutions are enabling providers to deliver proactive, efficient care at scale. Umps' technologies have been installed in thousands of households across Australia and New Zealand, earning recognition with a prestigious Good Design Award.

The story behind Umps Health’s name.

In 2016, my grandpa was hospitalised for a fall at home. After he returned home, my family and I were surprised to see how much frailer he had become. We wanted to support him to continue living safely and independently in the home he’d been in for more than 60 years.

I looked to technology to support us, but found that he already had the industry standard in incident detection. A pendant, worn around the neck that was pressed in the case of an emergency. The problem with this is that we only find out about something after it’s happened. The kicker was that even when my grandpa fell, he wasn’t wearing it.

So, we set out to build something new. Something that didn’t rely on my grandpa to change the way he lived. Something that gave some insight into his wellbeing before he fell, and still respected his privacy and dignity. My grandpa was the first person to use our technology, we all call him Umps, and that’s where the name Umps Health comes from.
