High contrast screen
The screen has a high contrast ratio and large text, making the content easy to see.
Keeping in touch should be simple
Growing older, our functional abilities change, and it can become hard to use modern communication devices; but keeping in touch with family and friends is as important as ever. We have developed KOMP to make communication between all generations simple.
In the UK
1 100 000
seniors (75 years and older) only have contact with family and relatives once a month or less
The one-button computer connecting generations
We communicate faster, more often and through more mediums than ever. We have developed KOMP to make communication between all generations simple. With KOMP your family and friends can share photos, messages, and make video calls. KOMP does not replace physical meetings, but it makes the time between them feel a little shorter.
Security and technical specifications
Secure video streaming
Privacy is always one of our main concerns – making sure both parties feel safe using KOMP.
No long-term storage
KOMP is made for sharing the moment. Photos are only stored for the time chosen by you, and there is no recording functionality in the video call.
Encrypted stream
The stream is end-to-end encrypted. This means that no one other than the KOMP user and the connected app user can access the stream.

Personal invitations
An unlimited number of family members can be invited to share moments through the KOMP app, giving every generation in the family the opportunity to participate.
Constantly evolving
KOMP is not a static product. We are continuously improving features, adding widgets and introducing new forms of content that you can share with your loved ones.
Our first widget is the weather forecast, which can be enabled through the app.
Easy to use
No touchscreen
As skin ages, fingertips can become dry and leathery, making interaction with a touch screen more difficult. KOMP has no touch screen, and is operated by a single button.
Clear audio connection
The sound is loud and clear, and seeing the person you talk with makes it easier to understand what they say.
One-button, physical interface
KOMP is easy to operate through a big, accessible button, with no complicated interactions to learn.

Five-month pilot
From June to November 2017, we conducted a pilot scheme to see if KOMP would encourage more communication within the family. Beyond the user manual, we gave no guidelines or targets for using the product and we are proud to report that over 2000 photos and messages were sent during this period.
