The Ken is the only option designed, end to end, for the person you love and the person looking after them.
Every other product on the market was built for a general consumer. The Ken is built the other way round — with pure and dedicated focus on an intuitive interface which feels as familiar as possible for the user.
Our Carer interface, remote management, shared medical information and reminders have been designed from day one for those who find mainstream technology difficult.
The device
The Ken
A dedicated communication device with a 10-inch touchscreen, designed and built for people who find mainstream technology difficult. Includes the device, power cable, and a quick start guide. Nothing else to buy.
Your subscription
A private, secure network for your family.
The Ken connects over your home WiFi, but calls and messages travel through a closed system built and maintained by us. There is no phone number and no email address on the device, so there is no way for strangers or scammers to make contact. No ads, no pop-ups, no app store. Only contacts you approve through the family portal or companion app can reach it. Your subscription keeps this system running: the secure network, the family portal, the companion app for iPhone and Android, daily summary emails, medication reminders, voicemail storage, and every software update. One plan, every feature, around 16p a day.
