Ili - Independent Living Ireland Ltd

Independent Living Ireland Limited is a profit-with-purpose social enterprise based in Galway, Co. Galway, dedicated to enhancing safety and independence for vulnerable people across the health and social-care sector. The company designs and supplies discreet monitoring and alarm solutions for hospitals, nursing homes and other residential care settings, offering both wired and wireless nurse-call systems, specialised dementia supports and silent alarms that enable distraction-free care.

In the community arena, Independent Living Ireland provides a broad portfolio of assistive technologies to support individuals, families and carers living at home. Their catalogue includes pendant and personal GPS alarms, mini-epilepsy devices, the Intercall 600 & 700 series, and a wireless relay that integrates multiple sensors with existing nurse-call points. Complementary services feature bespoke assessments and a 24/7 monitoring hub, ensuring each client receives a tailored, round-the-clock safety solution.

The organisation's innovative spirit was recognised when it won an €80 k seed-fund challenge from Cork County Council and Enterprise Ireland, leading to the development of the Ami Platform - a prototype aimed at improving quality of life for elderly citizens in partnership with health and social-care providers.
