9:02 AMCALL, IN YOUR VOICE
“Good morning. Did you sleep all right?”
Companionship for older adults, through memory changes and dementia
A familiar companion for the moments you cannot be there.
It knows their people, their routines, and what they love to talk about, so a conversation feels real and a reminder arrives at the right moment. Everything it knows about them, it learned from you.
A real call, in a family voice
2:0211:15 AMREMINDER
“The little blue ones. They're by the sink.”
12:40 PMON THE TABLET
“I'm right here. Can you see me?”
3:15 PMCALL
“Ask me as many times as you like.”
It's not a behavior to be managed.It's a need to be met.
Built around person-centered care, accepted memory care best practices, and peer-reviewed studies.
A geriatric psychiatry perspective
“Seeing AI bring tangible relief to dementia patients through KindredMind's innovative voice companionship model surpasses most treatments we have at the present time. This trajectory should make us all optimistic in our quest to employ non-pharmaceutical treatments in the battle against dementia.”

Early memory changes
“They're still themselves, but lately they forget appointments, repeat questions, and lose the thread of familiar conversations.”
Dementia support
“They call and ask the same question again and again. I reassure them each time, but minutes later, they have forgotten the answer.”
What this actually is
KindredMind has real conversations with your loved one, at any hour.
Wherever they are. On the landline, a cellphone, or a tablet in the room where they spend their day.
Or just a reminder. For the days that only need to hold together, short kind reminders arrive by call or text, with no conversation needed.
In a voice that fits. A warm friendly voice on any setup. For dementia support, a voice they know, added with that person's permission, for the times when only yours will settle them.
It is AI, not a person.
For families
Different moments need different support.
Choose an experience shaped for early memory changes or for the reassurance often needed with dementia.
Early memory changes
Mild cognitive impairment
For older adults experiencing mild cognitive decline who need gentle structure and engagement.
Why this is different.They still run their own day, but the week empties out and the phone rings less than it used to. The products built for this stage are pill reminders and emergency buttons, and neither of them is company.
What the research suggests.In the I-CONECT trial, adults over 75 who had mild cognitive impairment and took part in structured conversation four days a week improved on cognitive testing over six months. That is a finding about conversation. It is why every KindredMind product at this stage is built around one, and it is not a claim about what KindredMind does to anyone's brain.
- KindredMind Voice brings natural conversation and phone calls.
- KindredMind Presence offers a companion on a tablet for conversation and mental engagement.
- KindredMind Reminders provide short reminders by phone or text for medicine, meals, appointments, and routines.
Dementia support
Familiar reassurance
For older adults who need repeated reassurance, validation, and familiar comfort.
Why this is different.They call, you reassure them, and minutes later they call again, because they do not remember calling. The usual answer in this market is call screening. The clinical guidance says the opposite.
What the guidance says.UCLA's caregiver training puts it plainly:
"Because people with dementia are forgetful, they will forget that they called before or asked the same questions even 5 minutes ago."
UCLA Health, Caregiver Training: Repetitive Phone Calls
It recommends reassurance and reaching out first, and contains no recommendation to screen a call. That is what every KindredMind product at this stage is built to do.
- KindredMind Voice offers patient phone calls, conversation, and warm reassurance.
- KindredMind Presence offers a companion on a tablet for conversation and comfort.
- KindredMind Reminders provide short reminders by phone or text for medicine, meals, appointments, and routines.
Guided by established dementia care practice.
How it works
Three ways the companion shows up in daily life.
Cellphone, Landline or Big Button Photo Phone
Voice
KindredMind Voice
KindredMind Voice talks with them on the phone they already use, whether that is a cell phone, a big button photo phone, or the landline in the kitchen. It answers when they call, it calls them, and it gives gentle reminders through the day. Nothing new to learn, and nothing new in the house.
A real conversation, not a recording and not a phone menu.
One phone line, two very different jobs. You choose which one during setup.
EARLY MEMORY CHANGES
When the day is empty, it calls first.
DEMENTIA SUPPORT
When they call again, it answers again.
Tablet companion
KindredMind Presence
KindredMind Presence is a companion on a tablet, in the room where they spend their day. A face they can see as well as a voice they can hear, for conversation and company whenever they want it.
Not a video call. Nobody has to be free for it to happen.
One tablet, two very different jobs. You choose which one during setup.
EARLY MEMORY CHANGES
A conversation with somewhere to go.
DEMENTIA SUPPORT
Someone is there when the afternoon gets long.
Presence does not send reminders. A screen cannot make sure a pill is taken. That is what Voice and Reminders are for.
Phone · SMS
KindredMind Reminders
KindredMind Reminders keeps the day on track without needing a conversation. A short, kind reminder by call or text for medicine, meals, appointments, and the visits they are looking forward to, on the schedule you choose.
Not a conversation. It says the one thing, and goes.
For families whose loved one is still independent and just needs the day to hold together.
See KindredMind RemindersA changing journey
Support can change with them.
KindredMind is made for the years from mild cognitive decline through later middle dementia. Clinically, that is stages 3 through 6 on the Global Deterioration Scale.
People move through these stages differently. The stage lengths shown are averages, not a diagnosis or a promise.
No dementia
01
No noticeable change
Normal thinking and daily function remain completely intact.
02
Very mild changes
Sometimes forgets names or misplaces familiar things, often indistinguishable from normal aging.
KindredMind is for these stages
Early memory changes
03
Mild cognitive decline
Forgetfulness begins to affect work, complex plans, or finding the right words in conversation.
Typical length: 2 to 7 years
Dementia support
04
Early dementia
Recent events, planning, managing finances, or navigating new places become increasingly difficult.
Typical length: about 2 years
05
Middle dementia
Needs assistance with daily routines, appropriate clothing choices, and may lose track of time or place.
Typical length: about 1.5 years
06
Later middle dementia
Requires more hands-on help with daily activities. May repeat words, actions, or experience significant personality changes.
Typical length: about 2.5 years
07
Late dementia
Communication and movement become profoundly difficult; extensive, around-the-clock care is necessary.
Early memory changes
A friendly voice plus practical reminders can add gentle structure to the day, helping them maintain independence longer.
Dementia support
Reassurance can grow with their needs. Dementia support can bring deeper comfort as their needs change.
KindredMind is not a medical device. It does not diagnose or treat dementia, replace medical advice, or replace human care. It is designed to complement the people who know and care for them.
Who they see and hear
| Product | Friendly | A face or voice they know |
|---|---|---|
| Voice | A warm companion voice. Any setup. | A voice they know. Dementia support, with that person's permission. |
| Presence | A companion face. Any setup. | A face they know. Dementia support, with that person's permission. |
Set up at your pace
Begin simply. Add the details that make them feel known.
Start in a few minutes with just the essentials: who they are, how to reach them, and the reminders that matter today.
Add their stories, their routines, their relationships, and the way they speak whenever you want. Nothing is lost either way, and the companion gets more familiar the more it knows.
ONE SHARED FOUNDATION
What you tell KindredMind can support Voice, Presence, and Reminders, so the companion feels consistent wherever they use it.
What guides KindredMind
Grounded in care, conversation, and research.
Social connection
Conversation works best when it reflects each person's age, cognition, education, personality, and social world.
RCT analysis · Publication ID: PMC12724866
Familiar reassurance
A randomized study showed how simulated presence therapy can use familiar voices and personal messages to bring comfort to people living with dementia and help caregivers stay connected.

Four R's of dementia care
NCCDP guidance describes four practical ways to create comfort and connection in dementia care: reassure, keep a familiar routine, reminisce together, and gently redirect when needed.

Voices from the care community
A thoughtful way forward for families and care teams.
Caregivers, advocates, and dementia care leaders see the value of reassurance that supports the person and the people who care for them.
“What initially stood out to me about KindredMind was the thoughtful way the company approaches the balance between reassurance, autonomy, and privacy.”
“Looking back at caring for my dad ten years ago, I remember the constant toll of the ringing phone and the heavy guilt of missing a call.”
“In many ways, KindredMind reflects the same person-centred philosophy and approaches that I encourage for all caregivers.”
