Delay Dementia for Your Loved Ones

The migration of people from rural to urban areas breaks up the extended family with new generations moving from towns to cities and from one country to another. It is difficult for generations that live far apart to look after and care for each other. As a result, many care functions fall to strangers and professionals. This can be unsettling for those who need care as well as resulting in care that is expensive or insufficient.

Modern technologies, including smart phones, the Internet, Artificial Intelligence and robotics makes it possible for people who live far from their loved ones to regain some of the care functions they have lost and to start to bring families back together.

Kindbot’s mission is to provide such care technologies. Initially this will happen through apps that help you to evaluate and track the cognitive and mental health of your loved ones. Later, we plan to provide remotely controlled sensors and actuators to help you interact with your loved ones, including eventually remotely controlled robots for interacting physically with our loved ones and their surroundings, helping them to stay independent, healthy and safe.

Our first offering is the Care App. The first version of this app allows you to evaluate and track the cognitive abilities of your loved ones so that you can spot signs of impairment and dementia early. The app is based on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test. This test includes a range of tasks for reasoning and memory. It is particularly well suited for revealing early signs of cognitive impairment.

Most mild cognitive impairment is never diagnosed even though we know that early identification and treatment can delay the disease. Using our app you can identify and track the cognitive capabilities of your loved ones and get them help as soon as it is needed. By doing this you can improve their quality of life and give you more time to spend together.

Register now for a free trial to help your loved ones to avoid the effects of cognitive impairment and dementia for as long as possible.

Help Us Create AI for Dementia Detection

With your help, we want to create Artificial Intelligence to fight dementia. Anonymous test data from our app can train AI algorithms to recognize early signs of dementia before they become severe and obvious. The AI can examine your voice, speech or eye movements, removing the need for lengthy tests, and if you start showing signs of dementia, you can take effective early action to delay or even prevent the development of the disease. Our hope is that an AI dementia detection model will allow thousands of people to get diagnosed.. We know that currently most early stage dementia goes undetected even though we know that early action is critical in delayng or preventing severe symptoms. A publicly available AI can help anyone who wants to use it independent of wealth or geographical location. Please, help us fight dementia everywhere by using our app to test your loved ones and to get tested yourself. Technology Or team has decades of experience with da...

Using the KindbotCare App - A Quick Introduction

Our care app lets you test your loved ones for signs of cognitive impairment and dementia. It also allows you to track their results over time to catch any changes for the worse and signs of dementia that should be looked at by a doctor. The app is intuitive and requires little more than a login and an internet connection. Your loved ones will have tasks presented to them which will test their memory and understanding. You will follow along remotely and in real time, recording whether or not they give the right answers by ticking the given boxes. After you have registered to use the app, doing a test currently includes the following steps: Connect with the person you are administering the test to by voice call before you start. Start a new test from the app (while you're still on the voice call) Send the tests Internet link to your loved one so they can connect (the app will show you when they’re connected) Read the instructions for each task to your ...

When Should I Start Checking My Loved Ones for Dementia?

It's never too early to check someone you love for dementia. In the UK alone, 78,000 people under 65 live with 'young onset dementia'. There have been cases as young as 32. It is also possible to detect dementia up to nine years before it is typically diagnosed. However, after the age of 65, the probability of dementia increases rapidly from 1 in 100, for ages 65 to 69, to 1 in 5 for ages 85 to 89. Given these facts, we suggest that a sensible testing rate for your loved ones is once a year below 60, twice a year from 60 to 70, and four times per year from 70 upwards. In total, 500 thousand people in the UK have a dementia diagnosis and one million people are estimated to live with dementia. Women make up 65% of dementia sufferers, while 35% are men. It is the leading cause of death for women and the second leading cause of death for men. Sign up here to use our app to test you loved ones for dementia.
