From disc golf to dementia care: MeepMeep is expanding
MeepMeep’s smart locator product line is moving beyond sports and into dementia care. The app-connected locators are now being tested in settings where memory loss can make misplaced items a daily source of stress for residents, caregivers, and families.
Victoria-based MeepMeep, known for its disc golf locators, is expanding into healthcare through a new pilot project with Trillium Communities – St. Charles Manor Memory Care Neighbourhood. |

“Trillium Communities have been fantastic pilot partners at every step,” said Eve Bennett, MeepMeep’s founder and CEO. “Going into dementia care felt like a natural step after hearing directly from their team—and their families—about the stress caused by lost items like hearing aids. One family member described our solution as a small investment that could save enormous emotional and financial strain. That kind of impact is exactly why we do this.” |
According to MeepMeep, Canada alone has approximately 800 private long-term care homes with an estimated 64,000 residents, representing a $1.3M–$3.2M annual opportunity at the company’s projected $20–$50 price point. |
MeepMeep is a Douglas 10 to Watch and BCBusiness 30 Under 30 award winner. |
