Automation for Humanity Global Holdings Sp. z o.o., a Polish company established on March 22, 2024, operates in the aged care technology market. The firm's mission, inspired by the founders' personal experiences as informal caregivers, is to enhance the independence and dignity of seniors through cost-effective, automated care solutions. The company addresses the growing shortage of caregivers and the high cost of aged care by developing products that automate strenuous and unpleasant tasks, thereby reducing injuries and stress for professional caregivers and allowing them to focus more on interpersonal connection.
The company's initial product is the "Sit & Shower," an automated showering device designed to assist individuals with mobility challenges. This system, which can be placed over a toilet or in a shower stall, features one-button operation, automatic temperature control, auto-soaping and shampooing, 13 surrounding water jets, and a self-disinfection function. It aims to empower users by allowing them to manage personal hygiene independently and with dignity. The "Sit & Shower" has been deployed in Europe and Asia and is undergoing trials in Australia in collaboration with QUT Design Lab and Southern Cross Care. This product is the first step in a planned Automated Caregiving Ecosystem, which will include an automated bed-to-wheelchair transfer system, self-driving wheelchairs, and a robotic dressing system.
Automation for Humanity operates under the legal entity AFH Europe Sp. z o.o., based in Wrocław, Poland. The company has received co-financing from the European Union under the "Smart Growth" program for its research and development project focused on creating a comprehensive system to support seniors in daily activities, with a grant value of 5,647,945.56 PLN.
