THE I’LL TAP MOVEMENT

Come together, Canada.
Stand beside them.

Caregiving can feel like sleeping with one ear open. I’ll Tap is shared responsibility: when someone is vulnerable, we show up calmly — like family.

See. Pause. Tap.

If you see a KinTag, you don't need to diagnose or manage anything. You help reconnect someone to their people.

This isn’t about heroes. It’s about being the next right person.

How It Works

KinTag close-up

Universally designed to fit real life — wear it as a watch band, clip it as a keychain, attach it to a belt, or keep it as a wallet insert.

1

TAP

Anyone taps the KinTag with a smartphone. No app. No account.

2

CONNECT

The screen shows who to call — caregiver, family, or a backup contact — plus a short note (if you choose).

3

CALL

They tap the number. You're connected quickly, without guesswork.

When systems fail, clarity matters.

  • Traditional ID depends on someone noticing, reading, and knowing what to do.
  • KinTags makes the next step clear: reconnect them with their people.
  • Caregivers get a little relief — a quiet exhale — because someone else can help.

When memory or speech fall short, connection still matters

Memory Loss

Confusion happens. Names, numbers, and addresses can disappear in the moment.

A tap shows who to call.

Separation Anxiety

Crowds can overwhelm. Kids can freeze, panic, or forget how to ask for help.

A tap connects them to you.

Communication Support

Non-verbal moments, shutdowns, or meltdowns — when words won't come.

A tap can do the talking.
