About Us

As a team we have always been passionate about using innovation and technology to identify and protect the vulnerable and those at risk.

In 2018, one of our Co founders began to apply his clinical expertise to the problem of how to assess financial vulnerability and mental capacity in an increasingly on-line world where there is often no direct contact with the end user. Along the way he teamed up with other experts in a wide range of fields and the end result of this was the development of a Cognitive Assessment Engine and the birth of Comentis.

​

We believe our diversity is what makes us great. Utilising our complimentary skills and expertise we have created an affordable and easy to deploy, evidence based technology solution that enables organisations identify people who are at risk and support them appropriately.
