**About Sweet Pea**

Sweet Pea is a care tech start up with an ambitious vision to revolutionise the way families manage later life and elderly home care. We are developing a full care eco-system where anything from home care and domestic support, to more complex health at home tech can be accessed through our platform.

In our first iteration, Sweet Pea will be a personalised care matching service that helps families find and access home care, plus the additional health and domestic support that their elderly loved ones need to live well at home. Using Sweet Pea eases the fear and guilt of caring for elderly parents when families don’t live nearby, or don’t have the capacity to care for them. 

We’ve taken the confusion away from care and our bespoke technology intelligently matches families and care providers using a combination of location data and machine learning. Available as a mobile and web based application, Sweet Pea is convenient and easy to use, putting the care and support of elderly loved ones in your pocket. 

As we build out our platform and our user base grows we will expand our offering into more complex health care delivered at home, mental health and wellbeing in later life.

This is an exciting opportunity to be at the forefront of genuine care tech innovation.
