The Future of Senior Safety: Daniel Westhead on Anywhere Protection

The Future of Senior Safety: Daniel Westhead on Anywhere Protection

Meet Daniel Westhead — co-founder of SureSafe and Digitech — whose passion for helping families care for ageing loved ones led him to redesign what personal alarms and age tech can be.


In this episode, I spoke with Daniel about how he turned personal hardship into business innovation, building two age tech companies operating across the UK, Australia, and now expanding into the US. We unpacked:

  • Why ease-of-use and affordability are the two pillars of effective senior care tech
  • How Australia’s government-led funding approach compares to the UK’s fragmented care system
  • The role of proactive, predictive devices — and why we need tech that works beyond the home
  • A powerful story about Daniel’s nan that changed how he sees impact in this space


If you’re in health tech, social care, or building tools for vulnerable people — this conversation is for you.
