Assistive technology should make life simpler. Shopping for it should not feel like an archaeological dig through model numbers, mystery claims and fifty nearly identical gadgets.
Mr Purple brings together carefully chosen innovation from trusted brands, explained in plain English and matched to real homes, real people and real provider settings. The point is simple: more independence, and genuine peace of mind.
For homes and for Aged Care, SDA and SIL providers across Australia.
A small catalogue with its homework done
We are not building the internet's largest assistive technology catalogue. Quite deliberately, actually. We are building a useful one.
Every product must solve a clear problem, explain its limitations and have a sensible route from curiosity to demonstration, purchase, setup and support.
They focus on falls and wellbeing, pressure and movement in bed, and greater independence around the home and garden. Each has its own page, so detail can grow without turning this one into a manual.
Shop by problem, not jargon
You may be looking for a better way to notice a fall, without putting a camera in the room.
You may want clearer information about pressure, posture and movement in bed.
You may simply want the lawn handled, without the physical slog, noise or Sunday afternoon negotiation with a mower.
Start with the outcome you want. We will help you explore which product, if any, deserves a place in the conversation.
The first catalogue
Awareness without turning the room into a film set
Seenyor is camera free fall detection and wellbeing technology for home, Aged Care, SDA and SIL settings. It is for families and care teams who want genuine peace of mind and useful awareness, without a wearable and without a camera in the room. A demonstration is the best place to begin.
The mattress knows more than it lets on
Bed Guardian is a soft fibre sensing pad that notices pressure and movement patterns in bed, without a wearable or a camera. Supplier material describes signals around bed entry and exit, sitting up, extended stillness, prolonged absence, pressure distribution and turning records. Quiet reassurance and a useful signal for a care team, not a replacement for the people around the person.
More independence in the garden, after the model does its homework
Routine lawn care can involve time, mobility, fatigue, terrain and safety. A suitable robotic mower may reduce the manual effort of keeping a garden under control. The clever bit is not that it mows by itself. It is whether the exact model suits the lawn, slope, edges, steps, pets, power and installation. Because even a robot needs to know where the pond is.
Who it is for
A clever product can still be the wrong product. So we begin with the setting, the outcome and the people who will actually live with or use the technology.
Plain English explanations, honest limitations and the chance to see a product before deciding.
Product conversations grounded in the room, the workflow, the people involved and what happens after installation.
A practical look at dwelling layout, participant choice, support models, connectivity, setup and who responds when something changes.
Clear product information that can sit alongside appropriate professional assessment and existing support plans.
How it works
Share the broad problem, environment and outcome you are exploring. No catalogue code required.
Book a demonstration and see what the product does, what it does not do and what the setting needs.
Ask about model, setup, connectivity, installation, ongoing costs, support, warranty and any practical limits.
Buy where available, request a quote, or decide it is not the right fit. A useful no is still useful.
Why Mr Purple
We select innovation around real problems, not shelf filling. Every product should be understandable, its limitations should be visible and its next step should be truthful. Useful technology should buy you independence and peace of mind, not another manual to decode.
Just useful technology, clearly explained.
Browse, compare, ask the odd question
Some people know what they need and are ready to shop. Others want a demonstration, a provider conversation or a closer look at suitability first. Both routes are welcome.
Each product page shows availability, inclusions, setup, ongoing costs, delivery, support, warranty and returns.
Tell us the setting and the outcome you are exploring. We will point you to the right product, a demonstration, or an honest not yet.
Questions
Yes. Mr Purple Assistive Technology is a multi brand catalogue. The common thread is not the logo on the box. It is whether the product solves a clear problem and can be explained honestly.
The starting catalogue is Seenyor fall detection and wellbeing, the Bed Guardian smart monitoring pad and a robotic lawn mower. Each has its own product page.
No. Tell us the setting and the outcome you are exploring, and we can begin there.
We look at the relevant product, how it works, what it does not do, the environment it needs and the practical next step. Bring questions. Sensible, awkward and oddly specific are all welcome.
Yes. Demonstrations can be shaped around home, Aged Care, SDA, SIL and other relevant provider settings.
No. Technology may add useful information, reduce manual effort or support a response. It does not replace people, professional judgement, a clinical plan or emergency services.
We do not provide funding, registration or compliance advice. Funding depends on the person, programme, assessment and current rules, so please check with the appropriate qualified adviser or funding body.
No. If there is an emergency, use emergency services and the person's established support plan.
Insights and guides
Honest, short reads on safety and independence at home, choosing between products, the questions worth asking before you buy, and making innovation genuinely useful in a real setting. New articles are on the way.
Tell us what is happening, where it is happening and what better would look like. We will help you explore the right product, or tell you honestly if the fit is not there.
