KinTag for Continuing Care

When a resident is found, the finder knows who to call.

KinTag is a no-battery, no-app, no-GPS NFC tag. A stranger taps it with their phone and instantly reaches the wearer’s trusted contact.

Works with NFC-compatible smartphones. An internet connection is needed to open the contact page.

The moment that matters

They’ve been found.
Now, who can help?

A person living with dementia may leave a care setting or become lost in the community. Someone stops to help, but the person may not be able to explain who to call.

KinTag gives that finder a clear next step: a direct connection to someone the wearer trusts.

How it works

Three steps back to familiar care.

  1. 01

    Tap

    A finder taps the KinTag with a compatible smartphone and opens the contact page.

  2. 02

    Call a trusted contact

    The page shows who to call. The finder can reach the person who knows the wearer.

  3. 03

    Reunite

    The finder and trusted contact arrange the next step, helping the person get back to familiar care.

No battery to charge. No app to install. No GPS tracking. Privacy-friendly by design.

Another way to wear KinTag

A familiar flower.
The same connection.

Alongside the red KinTag, we offer a blue-and-yellow forget-me-not flower version. A small, recognisable design with the same tap-to-contact experience.

No battery, no app and no GPS. A finder taps the flower tag to reach the wearer’s trusted contact.

Ask about the forget-me-not flower version for your partnership or free pilot.

Discuss tag options

Works alongside what you have

Your systems prevent wandering inside the building. KinTag reunites people outside it.

Keep your in-facility wander-management and medical alert systems. KinTag complements them at the “found by a stranger” moment.

It offers a way to call a trusted contact once someone is there to help. It does not monitor movement or send an automatic alert.

A partner-funded programme

You sponsor the tags.
Families receive them free.

Your support puts KinTags in the hands of residents, clients and families—without asking them to pay.

Your brand on the tags

Co-branded tags make your organisation’s support visible in a useful, everyday way.

An invitation, by choice

Include an optional follow-up offer. Families choose whether to hear from you; using the tag never depends on marketing consent.

A clear view of participation

Receive reporting on tags distributed, tags activated and family opt-ins. Agree the reporting scope together before launch.

Who it’s for

For the organisations people rely on.

Care homes & assisted living

A simple connection to a trusted contact when a resident is out in the community.

Home-care agencies

Give clients and their families a practical way to stay connected beyond a scheduled visit.

Caregiver organisations

Put a useful tool in the hands of the families and people living with dementia you support.

Funders & benefits trusts

Fund a tangible community programme, with distribution, activation and opt-in reporting.
