Doro AB 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 bold challenger to the state run telecoms 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 UK.[3]

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.
Telecare
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.[6]
In Dec 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.[7]
