About BellPal
BellPal is a Swedish company that was founded in 2015, and its head office is located in Stockholm. We develop products and services that support senior citizens, enabling them to live an independent and active life. Our goal is to develop technology that is more human through design and engineering. We want the technical aspects of the technology to be invisible, to the extent that this is possible, and let simplicity take precedence.
We offer solutions for an active lifestyle and increased well-being rather than for health and healthcare. There is a great need for this, both among users and within the healthcare sector. Users request aids and solutions that enable them to live the life they want, something we notice when we develop products together with them. The healthcare sector in turn needs help to reduce the mounting pressure it faces, a pressure which is increasing rapidly as people get older and are encouraged to live independent lives. This is something most people want, if it can be achieved without sacrificing their quality of life and sense of security. This is where BellPal comes in.
“I was raised by my grandparents. I learned about the ageing process at an early age. My grandmother Irene developed Alzheimer’s. One day she didn’t answer when I phoned her. Nor did she answer the next day. In the end we phoned the police, who found her in the bathtub. After three long days and nights alone, she was in a pretty bad state, but she was alive. I realised that she was not the only senior citizen who had been through such a terrible experience. Older people fall over and may not have the strength to get up by themselves, and therefore cannot contact their family, friends or outside help. This happens all the time, everywhere. Far too often it has fatal consequences. That is why we started BellPal. To support our senior citizens in being active, having a high quality of life and maintaining their independence.”
