# Lumin - Full Reference

> Lumin is an Australian assistive technology company that helps older adults stay safe, connected and independent at home. Founded in 2020, Lumin addresses the "55% problem" - the roughly 45% of older adults in retirement communities and care settings who cannot effectively use mainstream apps and devices due to vision, dexterity, or cognitive challenges.

## Platform Overview

Lumin is a managed platform, not just a device. It combines hardware, software, services and human support into a single ecosystem:

### Lumin CareHub
The core product - a large-format managed touchscreen that sits in a resident's home. Features include video calling, photo sharing, entertainment, medication reminders, emergency alerts, weather, news, and community content. The device is remotely monitored and managed 24/7/365 by the Lumin support team. Winner of the 2024 Australian Good Design Award for Product Design.

### Lumin OneTouch
A simplified interface mode on the CareHub designed for people living with dementia or high cognitive needs. Four large buttons replace the standard interface - Phone, Messages, Photos, and Music - with zero complexity and full carer control.

### Lumin App
A free mobile app (iOS and Android) for residents who prefer a phone or tablet alongside their CareHub. Provides access to the same content and communication features.

### Supporters App
A mobile app for family members and friends. Send messages, photos, and reminders directly to a loved one's CareHub screen. Receive activity updates and wellbeing insights.

### Community Portal
A web-based management dashboard for village operators, care teams and facility managers. Manage residents, broadcast messages, schedule events, monitor engagement, and oversee device health across an entire community from a single interface.

### Connected Devices
Emergency pendants, wall-mounted alert buttons, smart blinds, intercom integration, and the Gem 5 Safety Watch (in partnership with Tunstall Healthcare). All devices connect through the CareHub ecosystem.

### Lumin Connect
Integration layer powered by Workato, supporting HL7, REST APIs, and 8,500+ connectors. Links Lumin with clinical systems (AlayaCare, eCase), CRMs (HubSpot, Pipedrive), and operational platforms.

### Lumin Cloud
Managed cloud infrastructure handling device management, OTA updates, data storage, AI processing, and security. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 aligned.

## Who Lumin Serves

### Retirement Villages & Communities
Village-wide deployments connecting residents to each other, their families, and village management. Lumin replaces fragmented communication (notice boards, letterbox drops) with a single digital channel that reaches every resident - including those who don't use smartphones.

### Care Professionals & Home Care Providers
Lumin supports home care providers and participants in Australia's Support at Home program (replacing Home Care Packages from July 2025). The platform qualifies under the Assistive Technology and Home Modifications (AT-HM) budget category.

### Aged Care Facilities
In-room engagement and safety for residential aged care. Addresses workforce shortfalls, resident loneliness, and family communication gaps. Integrates with clinical systems via Lumin Connect.

### Families & Friends
The Supporters App keeps families connected with an older loved one regardless of distance. See activity, send messages and photos, make video calls, and receive wellbeing updates.

### Individuals
Independent users wanting safety, connection and entertainment at home. Available through village deployments, care providers, or direct purchase with monthly rental or outright buy options.

## Services

### 24/7 Support
Every Lumin deployment is backed by a real human support team available around the clock - by phone, email or video. The team handles troubleshooting, device updates, and resident assistance.

### Installation & Onboarding
Professional on-site installation, device configuration, network setup, and personalised training for residents and staff. Phased rollouts for large deployments.

### Community Management
Managed content and communications service - broadcasting village news, scheduling events, and curating entertainment content so operations teams don't have to.
