What Alcuris does

Alcuris operates as the Access Assure brand within The Access Group, a UK-based software conglomerate. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Loughborough, the company designs and manufactures connectivity hardware and a digital telecare platform intended to enable elderly and vulnerable individuals to maintain independence at home. The offering combines reactive alarm functionality with proactive digital monitoring through three integrated components: Assure, a digital telecare platform; Connect, a data aggregation layer; and Memo, a range of sensors, wearables, and hub hardware. The platform establishes per-resident activity baselines within a 14-day learning window and subsequently detects deviations that may indicate falls, illness, or other safety events.

The underlying technology rests on passive in-home sensing (motion, door, environmental) paired with wearable devices and a hub that streams telemetry to the Assure platform. Alcuris has held TEC Quality Certification (UKAS-accredited) since 2019, positioning the product for sale into UK local-authority and NHS procurement frameworks. The company is referenced as serving 20+ organizations across UK local authorities, NHS trusts, social care providers, care homes, and individual families. Following acquisition by The Access Group, the product is being distributed across the parent's six-country footprint (UK, Australia/NZ, Singapore, Malaysia, US, Ireland).

Revenue is generated through a mix of hardware sales (Memo devices), recurring platform subscriptions (Assure), and professional services for deployment and integration. Go-to-market is predominantly enterprise field sales targeting public-sector and care-provider buyers, with a smaller direct-to-family channel. The company operates with 11-50 employees and is led by Chairman Barnaby Perks and Chief Product Officer Anders Widgren. As a sub-brand of The Access Group, Alcuris no longer publishes standalone financials or funding history.

Core offering

Alcuris designs, manufactures, and operates a digital telecare ecosystem that combines home-monitoring hardware (Memo sensors and hub) with the Assure software platform and the Connect data aggregation platform. The system learns an individual's normal daily activity patterns over 14 days and alerts family members and care providers when anomalies occur, enabling proactive rather than reactive elderly and social care.

Product overview

Alcuris offers a unified ecosystem of proactive care technology products under the Access Assure brand. The portfolio centers on Assure, a digital telecare platform providing unobtrusive home monitoring and social alarms for consumers. Supporting Assure are Connect, an advanced data aggregation platform that consolidates sensor and care data for actionable insights, and Memo, a hardware component comprising sensors and hubs. These products work together to enable a proactive and preventative approach to care, shifting from reactive alarm responses to continuous activity monitoring that learns normal patterns and alerts caregivers to anomalies before crises occur.

Direct peers

• Tunstall Healthcare: UK-based incumbent in technology-enabled care and telecare, offering both analogue and digital home monitoring solutions to local authorities and housing associations. Directly competes with Alcuris in the UK digital telecare procurement market.
• Tynetec: UK provider of telecare and telehealth products including dispersed alarms, fall detectors, and digital monitoring hubs. Operates within the Legrand Care portfolio and competes head-to-head with Alcuris for UK local authority and housing provider contracts.
• Canary Care: UK digital telecare start-up offering passive home-monitoring sensors and a family-facing app for elderly relatives. Closely comparable to Alcuris on product concept (passive sensors, behavioral monitoring, family/caregiver alerts) and target customer.

Broad incumbents

• PPP Taking Care (Age UK): One of the largest UK personal alarm and telecare providers, branded under Age UK. Overlaps with Alcuris on monitored telecare for elderly consumers and is closely comparable on subscription telecare services, though with a larger national brand.
• Chubb Fire & Security: Global provider of telecare, personal alarms, and connected safety services including Care Solutions. Competes with Alcuris for UK housing association and care provider contracts, with a broader fire/security portfolio.

Emerging players

• Essence Group: Israel-headquartered connected-care and IoT platform provider offering fall detection, behavioral monitoring, and remote patient monitoring. Comparable to Alcuris on multi-sensor home monitoring and data-driven elderly care, with broader international reach.
• Vayyar Care: Provider of radar-based, contactless falls detection and activity monitoring for elderly care. Comparable to Alcuris on proactive in-home monitoring and anomaly detection for independent living, with a different (non-wearable) sensor approach.
• Cera Care: UK digital-first home care provider using technology to manage care visits, medication, and remote monitoring. Adjacent rather than directly competitive with Alcuris, but serves the same UK elderly and social-care buyer segment with technology-enabled care delivery.
• Anthropos (formerly Everon): UK connected-care platform combining in-home sensors, wearables, and analytics for elderly monitoring. Closely comparable to Alcuris on data aggregation, behavioral insight, and remote patient monitoring for UK care providers.

Regional players

• Bay Alarm Medical: US-focused personal emergency response and connected-care provider with in-home and mobile PERS solutions. Comparable product category to Alcuris but primarily serves the US market rather than competing in UK.
