Komp

The one-button computer connecting generations

Human contact, love and close relationships are important for everyone, no matter their age or physical abilities. However, with smartphones and social media, social interaction and communication has largely moved from analogue to digital platforms. This often leaves technologically inexperienced and the elderly behind.

Komp is the one-button computer that bridges the communication gap between those that struggle to use modern day technology, and their more tech-savvy family and friends.

What is Komp?

Komp is a one-button computer, simpler to use than any tablet or smartphone, linked to an app for family members to use. From their own device, children, grandchildren and old friends can share photos, messages and make video calls directly to the person viewing Komp’s screen. With 4G internet available with Komp, all you have to do is plug it in and turn it on, making it as easy to set up as it is to use. Komp is developed with privacy and security in mind, so it is a safe, secure and closed social network for the whole family.


Explain Komp to your loved ones

We know Komp can be tricky to explain to the person getting it, they’re often skeptical of new technology, and don't necessarily see the point of something they’ve never used. That’s why we gathered useful information to help your family decide if Komp is the right solution.

This has to be the product of the year. You have solved a huge problem in the market with the simplicity of the total solution for people who don’t know tech at all. My mother has never used a mobile phone of any kind, iPad or computer. Now the problem is solved and we can chat every day. This really is a life saver.

Simple video calling device for the elderly

To receive calls, no action is required from the user when Komp is turned on. Calls will be automatically answered after 10 seconds. If the recipient doesn't want to answer, Komp can be turned off. Photos and messages appear on screen when the device is turned on.

To send photos, messages and make video calls, you need to download the Komp app (iOS or Android). Once connected to Komp you can invite your friends and family to the app, see a feed of images they send and interact with the Komp user, making it a closed social network for the entire family. Read more about how to use the app here.

Komp is a user friendly product, it simply allows your friends and family to share photos of their day to day lives, send messages, reminders and make video calls.

Key features

  • No touch-screen, which older fingertips can often struggle with
  • No usernames, passwords or manual updates required
  • Large 21” inch screen, clear sound and in-built microphone
  • Plugs into the wall, no charging required, and connects to either WiFi or an in-built 4G sim
  • Stands on a surface or can be wall-mounted
  • The user can not call from Komp itself. When we developed Komp, the pilot testers said that adding outgoing calls as a functionality made the product more complicated and increased the threshold of use. We've stripped Komp of advanced functionality so that the users experience a feeling of mastery.

Privacy and security

Komp is developed with privacy and security in mind, it is a safe, secure and closed social network for the whole family.

Only invited friends and family members can send content to Komp. And only the administrator (the person who initially set Komp up) can invite people to join.

We have been so much happier since getting a Komp for my mum in the care home, all her family and friends can connect to her at a touch, see her, talk to her, so easy to use as she does not have to do a thing.
