Someone to talk to. Someone listening out.

A rotary phone wired to an always-on familiar voice. Amara lets older people keep living in their own homes, safely, for longer.

Hours alone with no one to talk to.

A familiar voice, any hour

Talks in a family member’s voice and draws on their memory profile: names, routines, and stories they love.

A 2 a.m. fall or sudden pain that nobody hears.

Hears distress and calls family

Listens for falls, pain, and phrases like “I’ve fallen” or “tell my daughter I need help,” then alerts family right away.

Missed pills, a double dose, or the same question ten times.

Keeps the day on track

Starts the morning with the day and plans, reminds them of pills and meals, remembers if they took them, and answers patiently every time.

Touchscreens, logins, and blank AI prompts shut them out.

Just an old phone

No screen, no app, no camera. A rotary phone with a speaker in the dial. Amara speaks first, so they never have to know what to ask.

For family and carers

Peace of mind when you cannot be in the room.

Carers cannot be there 24/7. Between visits, things get missed.

Covers the hours carers cannot

Keeps them company between visits, passes on requests in their own words, and flags early warning signs like asking for the same person twice.
