The Digital Mentors Program at Atticus Health focuses on bridging the digital divide for our community. Led by Jo, our Lead Digital Mentor, and supported by the Good Things Foundation, this initiative provides essential guidance for navigating the online world safely. Our outstanding group of volunteer "Digital Mentors" offers personalized support, helping individuals build confidence with technology—from telehealth to staying connected with family. By empowering people with digital literacy, we ensure that technology remains a tool for independence rather than a barrier to care.

We provide the tools and clinical insight needed to maintain autonomy, safety and health in our community.
SenStride is a pioneering project dedicated to revolutionizing gait analysis through high-resolution smart insoles.

Together, we are bridging the gap between cutting-edge wearable tech and real-world aged care.
