WHAT'S NEW?
BE MY EYES EXPANDS INTO THE ASSISTED LIVING AND CARE SECTOR WITH AI-POWERED ACCESSIBILITY TOOLS
Be My Eyes, a customer accessibility management platform for people who are blind or have low vision, today announced its official launch within the assisted living and elder care sector, bringing cutting-edge AI assistance, live video support, and family connectivity tools to assisted living, care homes, and home care providers.
THE URGENT NEED FOR ACCESSIBLE CARE
According to the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB), over 50% of care home residents are blind or have low vision, yet many care environments are still built around the needs of sighted residents.
The result is a daily cycle of small but time-consuming requests – reading menus, navigating activity timetables, or completing paperwork – that reduce residents’ autonomy while consuming valuable staff time. Meanwhile, the sector faces a triple lock challenge: staff shortages, rising costs, and a growing elderly population.
Be My Eyes’ accessibility tools break this cycle by empowering residents to live more independently, restoring dignity, and freeing staff for higher-value care activities.
A COMPLETE ACCESSIBILITY TOOLKIT FOR CARE
• Service AI – Instantly interprets printed or visual information using a smartphone camera, resolving up to 90% of requests without staff involvement.
• Service Connect – Provides secure one-way video, two-way audio calls with live care staff or trained agents for complex visual tasks.
• Private Groups – Lets residents invite family and friends as trusted visual helpers, fostering connection and reducing routine calls to staff.
BENEFITS FOR RESIDENTS, FAMILIES, AND PROVIDERS • •
Increased resident satisfaction and dignity by removing unnecessary barriers.
Improved operational efficiency, saving staff hours each week.
• Stronger family trust through involvement and transparency. • Scalable support capacity without proportional staffing increases – up to 75% boost in effective coverage.
LEADERSHIP PERSPECTIVES
“Accessibility in care can really become a powerful strategic advantage,” said Mike Buckley, CEO at Be My Eyes. “By equipping residents with visual support tools, we empower them to participate fully in daily life, free up overworked staff, and create a care experience families can feel confident about.”
“As someone who is blind, I know the frustration of needing to ask for help with simple, everyday things – and the pride of doing them independently,” said Hans Jørgen Wiberg, Founder of Be My Eyes. “We’re launching in the care sector because independence should not fade with age or vision loss. Technology can preserve dignity, relieve staff, and keep families connected.”
AVAILABILITY
The Be My Eyes Care Sector solutions are available worldwide today, supporting 180+ languages and integrating seamlessly with existing smartphones or tablets – no new hardware required.
