What Safe Care Technologies does

Safe Care Technologies operates as the Irish distribution and service entity for Tobii Dynavox, the Nasdaq Stockholm-listed global leader in assistive communication technology. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Cork, Ireland, the company sells and supports a comprehensive portfolio of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) solutions serving individuals with communication disabilities (conditions such as ALS, cerebral palsy, autism, and stroke), educational institutions, speech and language therapists, and families/caregivers across Ireland.

The product portfolio spans dedicated AAC hardware devices (TD Navio and TD I-110 multi-access touch devices; TD Pilot, TD I-Series, and PCEye eye gaze devices), AAC software applications (Boardmaker 7, TD Snap, TD Talk, TD Browse, TD Phone, TD Control, Sensory Eye FX), low-tech AAC tools (Simple Communicators, Picture Communication Symbols, AAC Kit for Schools), alternative access peripherals (switches, mounting solutions via the Rehadapt partnership, environmental controllers), and multi-sensory therapy equipment (Magic Carpet/Magic Mirror, SHX System). Underlying technology centers on eye-tracking sensor hardware integrated with symbol-based and text-to-speech software, enabling users to communicate and control their environment through eye movements, touch, or switch access.

The business model combines one-time hardware/device sales with recurring software licensing (Boardmaker 7, TD Snap subscriptions) and accessories/mounting revenue. Pricing is custom and quote-based, not publicly disclosed, with sales conducted directly through the Cork office via Request a Quote, Request a Trial, and Book a Visit pathways. Customer support infrastructure includes device trials, remote assessments, RMA repair services, and product warranties. Go-to-market is sales-led with a hybrid of direct enterprise engagement (schools, healthcare providers) and long-tail individual/family sales. Safe Care Technologies functions as a regional operating entity within Tobii Dynavox's 14-country global network, with Conor Quigley serving as Managing Director.

Direct peers

• Lingraphica: US provider of AAC devices and speech-generating apps primarily for adults with aphasia. Direct peer in clinical AAC with comparable hardware-plus-software subscription model.
• Jabbla: Belgian AAC and special-needs computing company producing symbol-based communication software and devices. Overlaps with the TD Snap / Boardmaker software portfolio and competes for European school and SLT budgets.
• Smartbox Assistive Technology: UK-based specialist in AAC devices, software (Grid), and eye-gaze hardware. Direct competitor in the British Isles AAC market with overlapping product positioning to Tobii Dynavox / Safe Care Technologies.
• PRC-Saltillo: US-headquartered AAC device and language app manufacturer (ChatPlus, TouchChat, LAMP Words for Life). Competes globally with Tobii Dynavox across dedicated AAC speech-generating devices.
• Liberator / Talk To Me Technologies: Australian/UK AAC distributor and device maker offering dedicated speech-generating devices (e.g., Liberator, Grid Pad). Closely comparable as a multi-market AAC hardware + software reseller.

Others

• Rehadapt: German manufacturer of mounting solutions for AAC and assistive devices. Strategic channel partner to Safe Care Technologies; comparable as an adjacent ecosystem participant enabling device deployment.
• Pretorian Technologies: UK-based assistive input devices and switches supplier. Listed partner supplying alternative-access peripherals, an adjacent enabling technology rather than a direct AAC competitor.

Emerging players

• Abilia: Swedish assistive-technology company supplying cognition aids, environmental control, and communication tools. Listed as a Safe Care Technologies partner, but also an overlapping portfolio competitor in cognitive/AT support.
• Control Bionics: Australia/US neuro-assisted AAC company using EMG/eye-tracking switches (NeuroNode). Emerging peer focused on access for users with severe motor limitations, intersecting Tobii Dynavox's eye-gaze portfolio.

Broad incumbents
