Doro AB, known as Doro, is a Swedish consumer electronics and assistive technology company focused on the elderly and improving the lives of seniors. Founded in 1974 in Sweden as a challenger to the state-run telecommuncations monopoly, the company develops communications products and services designed primarily for the elderly, such as mobile phones and telecare systems.[2] Doro operates a number of alarm receiving centres in Sweden, Norway and the United Kingdom.[3]

Products

[edit]
Doro PhoneEasy 613 (2015).
Doro Liberto 820 mini (2015).

Doro produce both clam and bar type feature phones which run Doro's own operating system, such as the Doro 6820 and the Doro 7060,[4] and smartphones such as Doro 8080 and Doro 8100,[5] which run on Android. Its devices are designed with loud and clear sound, large separated keys and an assistance button that alerts emergency contacts if the user needs help.[6]

Mobile phones are named according to 'generations', starting with the simplest 1000 range bar-type mobiles, which have capabilities limited to texting, calling and a 0.3 MP (VGA) camera, progressing through 6000 and 5000 range clamshell and bar mobiles with email, video camera, calling, texting, Bluetooth and radio capabilities.

7000 range mobiles are made in both form factors, are mobile phones based on versions of Android and KaiOs and have most smartphone capabilities while still retaining more classic style form factors. The 8000 range are fully fledged smartphones, with modern versions of Android.

Older mobile phones were put into similar three-digit generation groupings, with more subcategories such as mini (stylized in all lowercase), used for smaller phones.

Other Doro products

Telecare

[edit]

In August 2020 it acquired Eldercare UK, a domiciliary care service provider in the North of England, for about £2.2 million. It had 109 full-time equivalent staff and monitored around 50,000 telecare connections.[8]

In December 2021, Doro listed its Care assets in a separate company called Careium AB by distributing all shares in the wholly-owned subsidiary Careium AB to the shareholders of Doro.

After the spin-off of the care assets into Careium AB, Doro AB is once again a consumer technology company focused on developing services and products for seniors to live independent and fulfilling lives.[9]
