Our Story

2iC-Care's Founder and CEO, Richard Keyse, was living away from his mother when she was diagnosed with dementia. Richard’s mother received domiciliary care and eventually moved into a full-service care home.

During this time, Richard’s eyes were opened to the many challenges facing an older or vulnerable person, their family, and the care system. Among other challenges, Richard found himself frustrated by the inability to access reliable information at the relevant time to help in times of need. This experience showed Richard that the care sector was in a difficult place and unable to fully serve those who relied on it.

At this moment of reflection, as a lifelong technologist as well as Director at 2iC, Richard realised the answer was right under his nose.
