Our Mission
At Safe Watch™, we are committed to enhancing the human component of care and reducing the stigma around mental health. By creating a safe and secure wellness companion app that allows compassionate connection within a trusted care world, we believe no one will ever have to say, “I had no idea”.
Our Impact
SafeWatch™ aims to support 25 million people to live to their fullest through
the highs, the lows, and authentic connections through the village approach
to mental health care.
Our Logo's Meaning
Our logo holds a meaningful story close to its heart. Designed with care and creativity, it embodies the essence of SafeWatch™.
At its core is a symbolic figure, representing an individual receiving vital support from two invaluable sources: their dedicated carer and their unwavering buddy. This powerful dynamic is beautifully encapsulated by a circle formed by two abstract hands, cradling and safeguarding the person within.
This circle symbolises unity, wholeness, and the profound sense of security that SafeWatch™ aims to provide. Every element of our logo reflects our commitment to nurturing mental well-being and fostering a supportive environment.
Mental Health Advisory Council
Dedicated to crafting SafeWatch™, our Mental Health Advisory Council brings diverse expertise, compassion, and innovation to foster a platform designed with care and expertise.

With impressive experience around medication as well as hands-on experience with speaking to a huge number of new mums who have struggled in this space. Here's what Penny says...
"I was inspired to be involved because as a pharmacist who has not only worked in mental health but also had personal experience with mental health issues, I know how important medication is to many in their mental wellness journeys, and also how accurately keeping track of medication changes is integral to providing effective care.
At present, there aren't any processes in place that allow HCPs to track medication changes and adherence. This app has the opportunity to improve that."
