Mindme

About Us

Mindme has been established over ten years and during that time it has played the leading role in the development of GPS personal alarms for vulnerable people. Our founder, Adrian Wolf, had been involved with GPS since it first became commercially available over twenty years ago and he remained excited and enthused about the practical uses of it right up to his passing in March 2021.

  • Mindme was the first company to use a roaming SIM in a GPS device and now it’s widely used within the industry.
  • The company created the first single button GPS alarm especially for vulnerable people.
  • Mindme created the first charging dock for a GPS alarm for vulnerable people.
  • Mindme was the first company to create a bespoke GPS tracking device to locate people with dementia or learning difficulties.
  • Mindme introduced satellite mapping as soon as it became available because it realised that street-level mapping is inadequate when locating people off-road.

When Mindme launched their first device it was not greeted with open arms. The company was accused of breaching Human Rights and/or Privacy issues. Matters came to a head when Sussex Police decided to trial some units and the Daily Telegraph ran a front page headline ‘GPS tags for dementia patients’.

The news story went viral and was covered by all the UK television news channels, most local radio stations and newspapers from around the world.

Carers from all over the country rang national and local radio talk programmes and many told horrendous stories of how their loved one went missing and the trauma it caused the family.

Today Mindme continues to be a market leader in the telehealthcare sector and is recognised as an experienced, knowledgeable company whose purpose is to enable people to live independently. As a company with no external investors or shareholders, we prioritise sustainable growth over short-term gains, which is reflected in our commitment to continually reinvest in Mindme to enhance our services and technology.
