Founded in 2005, OM Interactive (OMi) is a pioneer in the design, development and supply of motion activated interactive technology for the care, special needs and health sectors. OMi systems have led the way in developing inclusive sensory environments that truly engage and inspire people of all ages and abilities.
What does OMi do?

The system comes with 150+ activities and games which can be customised to match the requirements of the user. These can be set to different levels of ability depending on the needs and ability of the user.

As the residents can access the activities and games independently, time spent with care workers can be reduced, giving them more time to go about their daily tasks.
How effective is it?
Research undertaken over an 18 month study in 2018, found that the system was very good for encouraging movement, improving emotional wellbeing, helping with communication through reminiscence and nostalgia, and providing calming effects through sensory responses and interacti
