Helping people live better at home
This is Marie. We are building Conja, because Marie needed help and the health care system couldn’t provide her support when she needed it.
Timely care assessment is a huge social problem
Currently, more than 68,000 older Australians are waiting, likely more than 12 months, for an aged care assessment for support they need now.
Knee and hip replacements are projected to double by 2030, costing $5.32billion. Getting people home from hospital faster is currently budgeted to save $881million and free up valuable beds.
"People seek help because they urgently need it. Currently, they are suffering, deteriorating or worse, dying as they wait for up to 12 months or more to get the care they need, approved for funding under an aged care package."

There were 233,000 falls resulting in hospitalisations in 2020/21, representing 43% of all admissions. Falls in older people currently cost $2.3billion per year.
Conja allows timely home care assessment and home modification specification.
Using video-assisted AI and smart technology, Conja enables health professionals to conduct assessments remotely.
No need to travel often long distances for in-person inspections.
Many more homes can be assessed with the same resources.
Conja’s streamlined reporting will also remove the other major bottleneck for skilled assessors.
Extending these valuable health resources will significantly impact the bottlenecks crippling Aged Care and clogging Hospitals.
Supercharging valuable health skills.
Skilled health resources are in increasingly short supply.
Qualified OTs are in chronic short supply globally. Countries like Japan have literally run out of skilled people. It is essential that we utilise our skilled resources effectively.
Conja can help relieve the pressure.
Conja’s remote assessment can be actioned anytime, any place on your phone.
Up-skilling an untapped army of committed carers is the future of Aged care.
We can empower a more capable, efficient health workforce with remote AI-driven guidance.
The impact on remote regional areas will be dramatic.
Professional Care Organisations struggle to provide assessment and community services to many regional and rural areas.
Solving this problem is a hot button issue and a stated priority for Government.
This is how we can deliver timely assessment to can help free the bottleneck.
Conja’s secret sauce
Once the evidence is collated and the recommendations overlaid on Conja’s stage, it is recorded and handed off for remote assessment.
Co-piloting OTs
Enabling OTs to reach into many homes to assess and specify modifications without the need to travel potentially great distances.
Recommendations can be shared securely in Conja, assigning and specifying modifications in a timely manner.
Managing the varied media inputs required for reliable, compliant analysis and guidance is rapidly becoming one the most significant aspects of the AI revolution.
Conja is being co-designed with OTs and providers from the ground up to optimise this process.
