Why Kinse
Outbound calls on your schedule. Dashboard updates for caregivers.
Kinse is built for households that need reliable phone check-ins and medication reminders without asking someone to install another app. You configure weekly check-in times and medication schedules. Kinse dials out. Call summaries, medication confirmations, and alerts come back to you.
Use Kinse for yourself, for a loved one, or both on a hybrid account. Seat-based membership covers up to 5 people. Care circle invites on Team are helpers with permissions, not billing seats.
One product, three account shapes
The same outbound call engine and caregiver dashboard support different real-life setups.
For myself
Kinse dials your number for scheduled phone check-ins and medication reminders. You answer the phone. Your dashboard tracks medication confirmations and call summaries if you want visibility over time.
For a loved one
Add their phone number and timezone. Set weekly check-in slots and medication times. Kinse places the outbound calls. You read what happened on your dashboard cards.
For caregivers
Invite siblings or helpers with Full, Can Update, or View Only access. See call summaries, medication confirmations, and alerts without replacing your care team or emergency services.
Calling three times a day is not a system.
Medication times slip. Check-ins pile up. You refresh a dashboard or send another text, and the person you love never asked to learn a new app. The gap is not love. It is a steady rhythm on the one device they already answer: the phone.
Kinse places the calls on the schedule you set, notes what was said about medications, and puts a short summary where you already look. Support that feels like care, not another thing to check.
What Kinse delivers per person
One membership covers the phone experience for each person on your account and the caregiver dashboard behind it.
- Scheduled caring phone conversations, not just check-the-box pings
- Medication reminders with verbal confirmations and compliance on your dashboard
- Call summaries with sentiment signals and distress keyword alerts for caregivers
- Wellness trends over time on recipient summary cards
- Care circle coordination with permissioned updates for the whole team
- Appointment reminders woven into check-in calls when you add them
- Persistent memory across conversations so Cora picks up where you left off
- No app or new device required for the person who answers the phone
That is not a reminder app price for a single feature. It is a care coordination platform: outbound calls, medication tracking, family visibility, and memory in one membership per person.
What families often pay for separately
Many households stitch together partial solutions. Kinse replaces the stack with one outbound call line and one dashboard.
| Category | Typical monthly cost |
|---|---|
| Family care coordination app | $10–15 |
| Medical alert or monitoring service | $30–60 |
| Automated medication management | $30–50 |
| Family check-in app | $10–20 |
| Home health aide (about 1 visit/week) | $140–200+ |
| Typical piecemeal total | $220–345+/mo |
| Kinse (Starter, per person) | $34.95/mo |
Illustrative monthly ranges based on common U.S. list prices. Your household may pay more or less. Kinse is not a medical alert service, clinician, or emergency responder.
What Kinse adds that manual check-ins cannot
- Outbound check-ins on weekly slots you configure, not another app they must learn
- Medication doses confirmed by voice and logged on your dashboard
- One merged call when a check-in and a dose fall within 15 minutes
- Dashboard cards with call summaries, medication confirmations, and alerts after each call
- Care circle invites with Full, Can Update, or View Only permissions
- Hybrid accounts: receive calls yourself and manage loved ones on the same membership
Built for trust, not surveillance
Kinse supports routine check-ins and medication reminders by phone. It is not an emergency response service, a clinician, or a diagnosis tool. In urgent situations, contact local emergency services immediately.
Call summaries and medication confirmations go to caregivers you authorize. You control care circle permissions and what helpers can change versus view.
