I often get asked why I created Cyril and where did I get the inspiration for this. The answer to this is very simple, the inspiration came from a man called Joseph Raymond “Cyril” Beecham.

 

Raymond was a man who cycled 33 miles a day, was strong, determined, selfless and so full of life. He was a dedicated family man, and he would always help those in need.  We were all convinced that this man was invincible and would outlive everybody. 

 

However, over a period of months his health deteriorated, and then one day it all changed, he bent down to fix his TV, fell and couldn't get back up. He stayed on the floor unable to get up for 9 hours. Despite always helping everybody else and having a heart of gold he was, as stubborn as they come and wouldn't call for help, until it was too late. He would never complain, and always would say that everything is fine. 

 

This made me question had he had closer monitoring maybe his condition may not have escalated, and he would still be here today.

​

This man was not only my hero, but he was also my Grandad. He was the inspiration and the reason that I decided to build ‘Cyril,’ to provide people reassurance that we can catch the little things before they become big things and hopefully ensure that they do not lose their loved ones unnecessarily.

 

Cyril provides a real solution to the problem; it’s Smart Sensor Technology will provide care givers a greater understanding of individuals routines and detect significant changes to daily activities.

The data is sent in real time, allowing an earlier intervention. The non-intrusive sensors can be installed within homes and enable people to continue their everyday life, whether than be sharing time with loved ones, enjoying the companionship of a cherished pet or in Raymond case continue caring for his treasured wife and singing his heart out to Frank Sinatra.

Cyril will allow help and support to even the most stubborn of people and ensure that they get the help that is needed.

​

Raymond’s legacy of being selfless and always helping others will live on through Cyril ensuring the correct care and support is provided to those that need it.

A final dedication in the words of your hero Frank Sinatra, ‘The Best Is Yet to Come.’
