How it works

When they need you, the whole family knows.

KinectedCare runs on the phone and watch your parent already owns. No pendant to wear. No daily check-ins.

Three steps

One press. Everyone alerted.

Build the CareTeam

Your parent installs KinectedCare on their phone, and on their Apple Watch or Wear OS watch if they like. You, your siblings and anyone who helps join as their CareTeam. Nothing new to wear.

They ask for help

They press HELP on their phone or tap it on their watch.

Everyone is alerted

KinectedCare alerts every member of the CareTeam at once, and it can reach you even through silent and Do Not Disturb.1

When someone presses HELP

HELP, Answered.

One press, and every CareGiver on the CareTeam gets a critical alert. Each person sees the screen that helps them act.

1 · The press

She presses HELP.

On her phone, her Apple Watch or her Wear OS watch, with a second step to confirm. Or, when a fall-detection-capable watch detects a fall, its notification starts the same alert.1

2 · The alert

Every CareGiver is alerted.

A critical notification goes to the whole CareTeam at once. It can arrive with the phone locked and the app closed, and past silent and Do Not Disturb where your device settings allow.1

3 · The CareGiver

One tap to where she was.

Tapping the alert opens one screen for the person who pressed HELP: a map with her recent location trail, her phone’s battery, and Call and Navigate. It says so plainly when a location is old or approximate.

4 · The CareReceiver

Her phone speaks for her.

While HELP is active, her phone shows a screen anyone can read: her name, the people who care for her with a Call button for each, and a button to call emergency services. Whoever is with her chooses to call; KinectedCare does not dial for them.

Screens are illustrations with example names and data. The real emergency screens do not animate; this shows the order of events. During a HELP event her precise location and CareTeam details are shared with the people who need them; otherwise location is shared coarsely. KinectedCare is not an emergency service.

And when they can’t press anything

If their watch detects a fall, the family finds out.

A fall-detection-capable watch detects the fall, and its own system handles the emergency response. KinectedCare then tells the CareTeam, so the people who love them know too, not just a call center.1

When the phone goes quiet

If their phone goes quiet, their CareGivers are told.

An alert can only leave a phone that is on and connected. KinectedCare keeps a simple “still here” check as part of KinectedGuard, and if the phone goes dark, a dead battery or a lost signal, their CareGivers are told, so no one is trusting a safety net that is down. One signal, no history, no everyday screen showing what they are doing. What the notice means

Together

The family follows up together.

Everyone gets the alert at once, shares notes, and follows up in one shared, private place. Presence, not surveillance.

Get Stronger

A few gentle movements, at their own pace.

A short set of follow-along movements on their own phone. Theirs, unless they choose to share it.
