On 24th September OM Interactive were delighted to sponsor the NAPA Drinks Reception at Birmingham Metropole hotel to honour the legacy of Sylvie Silver, who has spent her career championing the use of arts, crafts, music and creativity in care homes and day centres nationally.

Our team enjoyed catching up with colleagues from Sunrise Senior Living, Hallmark Care and NAPA Year of the Arts award winners, Fir Villa (a care home with highly creative staff who own one of our Mobii systems). The dinner was followed with a poignant speech by Des Kelly OBE and emotional words from Sylvie herself. We were formally introduced to Hilary Woodhead who has stepped into Sylvie’s little (but difficult to fill!) shoes at NAPA and the evening ended with a richly deserved standing ovation.

As recognised NAPA suppliers we are proud to carry their logo, recognising the incredible effort of Activity Coordinators and staff all over the country who dedicate so much time to improving quality of life every day for those in their care. We wish Sylvie a happy retirement and Hilary every success in her new role.

On 6th September 2019 we were delighted to see our very own Ambassador, Noah Wall, back on our screens as part of the DIYSOS 20th Anniversary Special on BBC1.

The programme celebrated the amazing impact the DIYSOS home make-over has had on the Wall family in the five years since it was filmed, particularly the incredible advances Noah has made, due in part to the specialist equipment he was gifted.  Born with spina bifida and only 2% brain Noah was not expected to survive birth let alone develop into the bright capable boy we know and love today.

On Friday June 29th our very own Ian Davis journeyed down to Devon for the Outstanding Care Awards 2019 Gala Dinner held at The Riviera Conference Centre in Torquay.

Ian was delighted to be presented with the Memory Lane Silver Award in recognition of the positive impact our Mobii magic surface system is already having in Care Homes and Centres across Devon and Cornwall.

On Thursday 28th June, OM Interactive attended the Annual Care Home Awards 2019 at the Platinum Suite, Excel, London.

It was a great honour to be presented with the Care Home ‘Best Equipment/Product’ Award in recognition of the difference our system is making in care homes across the UK.

Our Care Consultant, Anna Park, was presented with the award by Alan Dedicoat ( the voice of Strictly & the Lottery Balls!) She commented afterwards that OMI were thrilled that the Mobii magic surface was making such a valuable contribution and proud to have this recognised at the Care Home Awards. She was keen to highlight that it was very much a whole team award for Mark Gilbert, who headed up the design team, Andy Park who headed up the software development and all the skilled engineers, designers & care specialists involved in its development.

‘We are delighted that after 12 years of designing sensory projection systems we have been able to use all our skills to create a mobile table to floor version designed specifically to provide transformational experiences for those in care’.

The sensory technology company, OM Interactive, has won the Outstanding Dementia Product category in the 9th National Dementia Care Awards 2018.

Anna Park, Care Consultant at OM Interactive said:

“We feel honoured that the valuable contribution our Mobii magic surface interactive table is making in Care has been recognised in this way.  Stimulating and engaging those living with dementia in meaningful person-centred activities is so important in care homes, centres and hospital settings across the UK.

Our dedicated team of engineers and designers have used all of their combined talents to create a product that is fully mobile with rich and varied activities that can be used anywhere from bedsides to floors and dining tables. An engaging resource for people at all stages of dementia, their families and those who live and work with them. We love what we do and this will encourage us to keep delivering the very best in interactive experiences for all ages and abilities”
