Built for the families who carry the most.
Kintaria exists because the hardest seasons of family life — caring for an aging parent — are the ones with the worst tools.
You start out using whatever you already have. The group text. A shared Google Doc. A calendar on the fridge. A folder of insurance cards in a drawer. None of it was built for this. None of it holds up when the cardiology appointment becomes the discharge planning becomes the home health setup becomes the falls becomes the diagnosis becomes the conversation no one wanted to have.
Meanwhile a single adult child — usually a daughter, frequently working full-time, often parenting kids of her own — quietly carries the weight. She knows the medication list by heart. She tracks the appointments. She does the second-guessing at 2am. Her siblings would help if they knew how. The doctors would help if she had the right summary to hand them. She is, in the language of healthcare, “the family caregiver.” She is also tired in a way that is hard to describe to anyone who hasn't been there.
Kintaria is built for her.
What Kintaria is, in one paragraph
A calm, shared workspace for the family of an aging parent. Visit summaries that turn 20 minutes of doctor-speak into something a sibling in Seattle can actually read. A medication list that updates when the prescription changes. Time-limited links you can share with a new specialist instead of typing the history out again. Step-by-step plans for the hardest moments — hospital discharge, the dementia diagnosis, the fall, the last weeks. Not magic. Just structure that keeps a family on the same page without anyone having to be the one who briefs everyone else.
Why we built Kintaria
We built Kintaria because the people we love were trying to coordinate complicated care with tools that weren't built for the job — group texts, Google Docs, a phone full of voicemails. None of them held up when it mattered.
The gap we kept seeing wasn't a technology gap. It was a coordination gap. The medical knowledge existed — the cardiologist knew what was going on. The information existed — it was just spread across six patient portals, three voicemails, and one sibling's memory. The family wanted to help. They just didn't know what had changed since the last appointment, and the person who did was too tired to retell the story for the seventh time.
Most products in this space are built for someone else. Patient portals are built for the patient. EHRs are built for the clinician. The big consumer caregiver apps are built for one workflow at a time — a meal calendar, a fundraising page, a list of well-wishers. None of them are built for the unit that actually delivers care in this country, which is the family.
Kintaria is built for the family — the whole family. The daughter holding the day-to-day. The spouse who is the primary caregiver and the patient at once. The sibling helping from a thousand miles away. The parent watching all of this happen to them. One shared workspace where the medical history, the appointments, the medications, the visit summaries, and the running family conversation all live in one calm place.
The first 12 months are free for the founding 500 families — no credit card, no waitlist. If Kintaria falls short for you, we want to hear about it. info@thrive.me or (888) 704-0999. We read every message and answer most of them ourselves.
What we believe
Care coordination is emotional infrastructure — and right now, families are running it on a phone, a notebook, and goodwill.
Calm beats clever. Every design decision in Kintaria starts with “would a tired daughter at 11pm find this helpful or annoying?” If it would annoy her, it doesn't ship.
The family is the unit. Most products in this space are built either for the patient (Medicare portals) or for the professional (EHRs). Kintaria is built for the family — the unit that actually delivers the care.
AI should reduce work, not replace judgment. Kintaria uses AI to turn doctor visits into plain-language summaries, classify uploaded documents, extract lab values from a photo of a printout. It never makes decisions. You review every summary before it's shared. AI is opt-in by default.
Privacy isn't a checkbox. Every table in Kintaria has row-level security. Every change is audit-logged. Share links expire. The architecture is built to be HIPAA-aligned from day one. We say what is encrypted and what is not — clearly — on our security page.
Seven languages, real translations. We launched with English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Tagalog — not because we had to, but because the families we want to serve don't all read English first. Each language has its own resource directory written for that community.
Bilingual workspaces, one shared record. The only caregiver app where the parent and her American-raised children can each use their own language inside one shared workspace. Notes you write in English are automatically translated into your parent's language and shown side-by-side — so Mom can read along while the whole family keeps a single record of what's going on.

Advisors
Kintaria is being shaped by conversations with healthcare leaders, hospital social workers, geriatric care managers, and — most of all — family caregivers themselves. As the company grows, this section will name the people who've made it better.
