About KindredMind
KindredMind is an AI-powered voice companion for families navigating dementia. It answers calls from a loved one with dementia in the caregiver's own cloned voice, using a personalized knowledge base the caregiver builds. Every call follows the Alzheimer Society of Canada's published communication guidelines for dementia and is grounded in simulated presence therapy and validation therapy.
KindredMind was founded by Kirstin Thomas, an Ontario-based caregiver for her mother Sharon, who lives with frontotemporal dementia. Kirstin built KindredMind because she needed it and nothing else existed. The product is available to families across Canada and the United States, with pricing starting at $179 CAD per month. KindredMind donates 5% of every subscription to the Alzheimer Society of Canada and the Alzheimer's Association, in the subscriber's name.
