Empowering Everyday Independence

Seeking Research Partners

Feel more confident
at home

Enabiva helps older adults and carers understand what is working well, what feels difficult, and what small changes can make everyday life easier.

No commitment required  ·  Exploratory conversations welcome

Non-clinical OT-informed Digitally accessible Free in Research Mode All housing tenures

We believe independence is a feeling — not a diagnosis

We believe older adults deserve confidence, not judgement.

We believe carers deserve to be seen, not stretched.

We believe families deserve clarity, not crisis.

We believe small steps can change a day, a home, a life.

We believe everyone deserves to stay themselves, even as life changes.

Simple, supportive — nothing clinical.

A simple way to understand everyday life at home

Grounded in occupational therapy principles. Designed to feel safe, warm, and completely non-clinical — reaching people long before formal services are needed.

Guided reflection

A few simple questions across four areas — Functional, Confidence, Environment and Support — help build a picture of everyday life at home.

Personalised Independence Plan

Room-by-room suggestions delivered by email or WhatsApp. Practical, warm, and free from clinical language.

Gentle follow-up nudges

Kind prompts over time to support small actions. Never surveillance. Behaviourally informed and psychologically safe.

Carer pathway

A dedicated route for carers to reduce emotional load, improve communication and feel more supported in their role.

What Enabiva is — and is not

It is

  • A non-clinical guidance tool
  • An early-stage, preventative support
  • Occupational therapy-informed
  • Scalable and digitally accessible
  • Suitable across all housing tenures
  • Free to users in Research Mode

It is not

  • A clinical assessment
  • A diagnostic or screening tool
  • A medical device or treatment
  • A risk-scoring or triage system
  • A replacement for care services
  • For dedicated care settings

Why this matters: Enabiva reaches people before crisis — safely and at scale. It fills the gap between early changes at home and access to formal services, without clinical risk or regulatory burden.

Responding to the NIHR Public Health Research Programme

Housing, place and the built environment for an ageing population

We are developing a research proposal in response to this NIHR call. We are not yet funded — we are in the early stages of building a partnership network to support the application. The study will explore how a light-touch digital intervention can support independence, reduce health inequalities and sit within existing housing and prevention pathways.

01

Acceptability and usability across urban, rural and coastal settings

02

Impact on confidence, independence and daily living

03

Reducing health inequalities across tenure types and demographic groups

04

How Enabiva fits within real-world prevention and housing support pathways

Who we are looking to work with

We welcome early, informal conversations. No commitment is required — we are simply exploring fit and mutual interest.

Local Authorities

Prevention and wellbeing services, adult social care, social prescribing and community support pathways.

Housing Associations

Older tenants in social housing, sheltered and supported housing, and housing with care settings.

Charities and VCS

Age-related charities, carer support organisations, community health and voluntary sector groups.

Start an exploratory conversation

No commitment required. We would love to hear from organisations interested in exploring partnership.
