For HCPs

Their nurse, GP or care worker can be part of it

The family invites you. You get your own sign-in, to ring the Ken, set the medication reminders and keep a care record.

See how it works

The family invites you

Nobody can add themselves to somebody's Ken. Access is granted by an Admin in the family, one Ken at a time.

01

Invited

An invitation reaches you by email from the family's Admin, naming Healthcare Professional as your role.

02

Named

Your name, qualifications, employer and registration number sit on your profile.

A Healthcare Professional sign-in needs a strong password of twelve characters or more.

What the role gives you

Everything below is in the browser, on a phone or a laptop, on every Ken the families have put you on.

Call and message

Ring the Ken from the portal. Your photograph and your name fill their screen, and one button answers it. Nobody in? Leave a Videomail and it waits on the home screen.

Medication reminders

Set the medicine, the dose, the time and the days. The Ken fills the screen with the prompt and reads it aloud, and you can put a photograph of the pill on it.

A care record that stays yours

Care notes are the clinical record and only a clinician writes them. The family read them if you share them, and the person sees them only if you turn that on.

Medical information

Conditions, allergies, current medicines and the GP's details, held on the record and encrypted in the database rather than sitting in plain text.

Check-ins you schedule

Put a check-in on any day of the week for any Ken, then read today's across everybody you look after on one screen.

A caseload that says who needs you

Every Ken you hold, the ones needing attention at the top, each one saying why: a medication alert nobody answered, a Ken switched off for more than a day, a check-in overdue.

The caseload, a care note, and the medication round

The caseload opens on whoever needs you first. Every row says why. You can pick which one to open without opening any of them.

Dressing changed, wound clean and dry. Next review Friday.

Only a clinician writes here. The family read these notes if you share them.

A care note. Nobody real is named here.
MedicationMarjorie H.
  • Not taken Amlodipine, 8:00am Asked twice. The family were told at 8:30.
  • Taken Atorvastatin, 8:00am Answered on the Ken at 8:06.
  • Due Amlodipine, 8:00pm

You set the reminder. The Ken asks, and records what they answered.

The medication round. The invented answers show what a missed dose looks like next to a taken one, and each state is labelled in words.

What the person you look after sees

It is one screen. Faces to call, a message waiting with a photograph on it, a reminder that fills the screen at the right time. There is nothing to install, no browser, no inbox and no phone number, so there is nothing on it for a cold caller to use.

The Ken: a 10-inch touchscreen on a stand, showing a grid of family photographs to call.
The Ken, as it sits on the sideboard.

The family runs the Ken. You look after the person.

Looking after someone who has a Ken?

Ask whoever in the family runs it to invite you as a Healthcare Professional. Your own sign-in follows, and it is yours from that moment.
