SmartCare Living is the exclusive installer of Ireland’s most advanced privacy-first home safety and independence solution, called SmartGuardian.
Founded by Nigel Cobbe, SmartCare Living (formerly SmartSpace Technologies) was established in response to the growing challenge faced by families and healthcare professionals in balancing independence, safety, and dignity - particularly those living alone or with increased vulnerability.
SmartGuardian was originally developed for the care sector and combines advanced AI and the latest smart sensor technology to identify falls, distress events, and abnormal patterns of behaviour in real time. It does all this without requiring the individual to wear or interact with any device - supporting dignity, compliance, and ease of use.
Our solutions are designed to complement Occupational Therapy recommendations and Assistive Technology plans, providing an additional layer of reassurance for families, carers, and professionals involved in discharge planning and community-based care.
In recognition of the impact and innovation of our work, SmartCare Living was named a Three Ireland SME Business Winner 2025, reflecting our commitment to delivering practical, trusted solutions that support independent living in real-world home environments. Also, since 2025, SmartGuardian is a solution featured in HSE Memory Technology Resource Rooms, which support families in exploring home safety options for people living with memory challenges and dementia.
In addition to SmartGuardian, we have a strong home safety and security installation pedigree, with extensive experience delivering Ring-based security and alert systems for private households. We continue to offer these installations as part of a broader, layered approach to home safety.
Since 2018, our technology and services have been trusted by families across Dublin and Leinster and are aligned with best-practice approaches to ageing in place, falls prevention, and home-based risk mitigation.
At SmartCare Living, our focus is on early intervention, prevention, and reassurance — helping individuals remain safely at home while reducing avoidable incidents and caregiver burden.
