"Did she eat? Did she take her pills? Is she okay?"
You call when you can. Some days you can't. Then you worry about the calls you didn't make, and the group text fills with guesses.
Kinse covers those days. It doesn't replace your calls. It frees them up, so your calls can be about their life, not their pills.
How it works
Tell us who to call and when
Add their phone number, their medications, and a few things they love to talk about. It takes under 5 minutes.
Kinse calls
Cora, the voice on every call, asks how the day is going, one question at a time. At medication time Cora names the medicine: "Have you taken your blood pressure pill?"
You read how it went
A short summary of the call: how they sounded, what they talked about, and which medications were taken. If something needs you, you'll know.
Add a doctor's visit and Cora will bring it up on calls in the days before: when it is, where, and who's taking them. Afterward, Cora may ask how it went.
Meet Cora
A call that feels like a conversation
Cora is patient. Cora asks one thing at a time and gives them time to answer. Cora remembers what they shared last time, like the garden or a grandchild's game, and asks about it. You choose from six voices and a slower or faster pace.

Medication reminders that name the medicine
At the time you set, Cora says the name and the dose and asks if they've taken it. Your summary shows each one as taken, missed, refused, or unclear.
If a medicine is missed or refused, you get an alert.
Everyone who helps sees the same update
Invite a sibling, a neighbor, or a home aide at no extra cost. Everyone reads the same summary, so nobody has to ask "who talked to Mom last?"
You decide who can only read and who can change medications or call times. There's also a shared family board to post news or ask someone to cover a task.
What Kinse is, and what it isn't
- Kinse is a scheduled phone call. It is not an emergency service. In an emergency, call 911.
- Kinse is not a doctor or nurse. It doesn't give medical advice.
- Kinse doesn't record calls. You get a written summary, not a recording.
- If Kinse can't reach them, you'll know.
How to bring it up
Many parents don't want to feel like a burden. It helps to make it about you:
It would help me worry less. Would you try it for a few weeks, for me?
Then save Kinse's number in their phone as "Cora" so they know who's calling.
