KindredMind is a voice companion for dementia families across North America. When a parent with dementia calls a caregiver who cannot always pick up, KindredMind answers in the caregiver's own voice, calm and familiar.  The product was built by Kirstin Thomas after her mother Sharon, who lives with vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and the aftermath of an ischaemic stroke, would call her sometimes ten times before lunch. KindredMind does not replace the caregiver. It amplifies them, so they can be present for everyone they care for, including themselves.  KindredMind is grounded in simulated presence therapy and follows Alzheimer Society of Canada communication guidelines. The approach is supported by clinical research, including a 2024 randomized controlled trial published in the International Journal of Neuroscience (PubMed 38646703).  Co-founded by Kirstin Thomas and Patrick Armstrong in Canada.
