The call
Nine seconds. This one is a plain reminder, so there is nothing for them to answer.
0:00
BY CALL, TEXT, OR EMAILBeta
The day holds together, without needing a conversation.
A short, kind reminder by call, text, or email for medicine, meals, appointments, and the visits they are looking forward to, on the schedule you choose. They answer with one key or two words. There is nothing to install and nothing new in the house.

WHERE IT ARRIVES
Text, call, or email. Or all three.
Reminders fit the person and their routine. You choose when they happen and can make changes anytime.
They reply to a text, answer an email, or press one number during a short call. No app, no account, no new phone number, no tablet, and no recording of anyone's voice.
The email
Not a conversation. It says the one thing, and goes.
ONE SCHEDULE, TWO DIFFERENT JOBS
The same reminder does different work.
A reminder means something different depending on who's receiving it. You choose which, during setup.
That is person-centered support: each cue is shaped around the person's needs and preferences without taking over more than necessary.
EARLY MEMORY CHANGES
The challenge.
They still run their own day and they want to keep running it. What slips is the appointment three weeks out and the pill at 4pm in the afternoon.
What KindredMind Reminders™ does.
A prompt at the right time, and nothing more. Nothing that treats them as though they need more help than they do. A wellness check is there if you want to hear back, and off if you do not. Understand how prompts fit into daily support in our guide to memory aids and reminders.
DEMENTIA SUPPORT
The challenge.
The day loses its shape. Meals, medicine and appointments drift, and the person holding it all together is usually you, from somewhere else, by phone.
What KindredMind Reminders does.
A calm voice arrives at the right moment, says the one thing, and goes. It does not scold, it does not rush, and it sounds the same on the fourth day as on the first.
“It's the constant, invisible mental load of medications, appointments, and daily routines that falls entirely on your shoulders.”
When you want an answer to "All ok?"
Most reminders just arrive and go. For the ones that matter, you can ask for an answer.
On a reminder they can reply DONE, or SKIP if they decided not to, or CALL ME if they would rather talk to you. On a call it is press 1, 2, or 3.
A wellness check is simpler. It asks only whether they are okay. ALL OK closes it. CALL ME or NOT OK reaches you right away.
If a reminder goes out by text, call, and email, they only have to answer once. The first answer closes it.
Marked done means they said so. It does not mean the pill was taken. Nothing that arrives by phone can know that.
If nobody answers
KindredMind waits, tries once more, and waits again. You choose both waits, anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour. It starts at fifteen and fifteen.
Then you hear from it, by text, by email, or both.
That message tells you nobody answered. It does not tell you why.
You decide what's worth the interruption.
Not every missed reminder deserves a buzz in the middle of your workday. For each one you choose:
- Tell me now. For wellness checks, medication, anything time sensitive.
- Put it in the daily summary. For water, walks, the small things.
- Just keep the record. Nothing pushed. There when you look, quiet when you don't.
CALL ME and NOT OK always reach you right away, whatever you have chosen.
Someone else, if you cannot answer
Add up to three backup contacts, in the order you want them tried, each with a name, a phone number, and an email. Turn any of them on or off whenever you need to. Their details are encrypted.
A quiet record
Every reminder and check-in leaves a line. Sent, waiting, marked done, skipped, confirmed okay, contact requested, or no response after the retry. With the time, the message, and how they answered.
Three things to be clear about.
It does not hold a conversation.
It says the thing and goes. Conversation is what KindredMind Voice is for.
A wellness check tells you they answered.
It does not tell you the pill was taken. Nothing that arrives by phone can know that.
It is not a medical device and not an emergency service.
KindredMind does not diagnose, treat or monitor anyone, and it cannot call for help.

Your 14-day trial includes up to 30 minutes. No card needed.
Every plan includes text, call, and email delivery, recurring schedules, wellness checks, caregiver notifications, and a 14 day trial with no card.
One reminder is one reminder, even across text, call, and email. A wellness check counts as two: one for the check itself, and one for the follow-up email to you.
Prices are in Canadian dollars. Families in the United States are welcome, and are billed in Canadian dollars too.
KindredMind Reminders is also available as an add-on inside a KindredMind Voice or Presence account.
They can say when to stop
Before anything is scheduled, you confirm you have permission to arrange it. Every text tells them how to opt out, and if they reply STOP the texts end.
Questions families ask
Do they need a smartphone?
No. A text works on any cell phone, the call works on a landline, and email works anywhere. There is nothing to install and no account for them to make.
What if they do not answer?
KindredMind tries once more, waits, and then tells you. You choose both waits and whether you hear about it right away or in a daily summary.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. The trial runs 14 days without one.
What if I already have KindredMind Voice?
KindredMind Reminders is also available as an add-on inside a KindredMind Voice or Presence account.
Can they say they have had enough?
Yes. Every text tells them how to opt out, and if they reply STOP the texts end.
Is this an emergency service?
No. KindredMind cannot call for help and does not monitor anyone. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
What you tell us about them stays yours.
Encrypted, at rest and in transit
Everything you write about them is encrypted with AES-256 where it is stored, and protected with TLS while it travels. The key is held in a separate secrets manager, apart from the data it opens.
We do not ask for what we do not need
No identifying documents, no medical records, no financial information. Standard setup does not ask for a full legal name or a date of birth.
Not a medical device, and not an emergency service
KindredMind does not diagnose, treat, or monitor anyone, and it makes no claim to affect memory or cognition.
