The gap in family care
Where today's options fall short
Never enough time
Between work, children and everything else, there aren't enough hours to be there as often as you'd like.
Not knowing
Without a view of day-to-day routines, small changes are easy to miss until they are no longer small.
The distance
You want to be there, but life gets busy. Not knowing how your parent is doing creates a quiet, constant worry.
Loneliness
Many older adults feel isolated, and a panic button offers little day-to-day comfort or company.
How Tama helps
Changes from their usual
Tama learns your parent's own pattern of sleep, heart rate and activity, and tells you in plain words when something changes.
Everyday peace of mind
Stay informed without the constant worry calls, while your parent keeps their independence.
Dignity and privacy
No cameras and no location tracking. Your parent can see everything the family sees, and nothing happens behind their back.
Support that feels human
Thoughtful reminders and soft prompts encourage healthy routines and help your parent feel a little more connected each day.
Your window into their wellbeing
Stay close to how your mum or dad is doing, without the worry calls.
The Tama app and the Tama Band
Today at a glance
Sleep, heart rate and activity for today, in one view.
Changes from their usual
Summaries that point out what has changed, from last night to the last few weeks.
Reminders
See which doses were taken, missed or skipped, without having to ask.
Peace of mind, not noise
A few clear updates instead of a stream of numbers and charts.
Notice the small changes before they become big ones.
How it works
Get started in four simple steps
Wear the Tama Band
A soft, lightweight band made for comfort day and night, with no buttons or screen. It quietly picks up sleep, heart rate and daily activity.
The Tama app
A simple app on their iPhone with gentle medication reminders. Made to feel natural, not technical.
Your family app
A clear view of how your parent is doing. See daily summaries and weekly trends, and get an update when something changes from their usual.
Stay connected
Your parent keeps their independence, and you stay close without getting in the way.

Android coming soonYour first two weeks with Tama
The Tama Band comes by post and pairs with the Tama app on an iPhone. Then:
The first two weeks
Tama learns what's usual
Each morning shows the night's sleep and heart rate. Steps and activity count from the first day. Nothing is compared with a usual yet, because there isn't one.
The Tama app
Learning your usual patterns
The family app
Learning Margaret's usual patterns
One segment for each night slept in the band.
After that
Changes from the usual
Each day is compared with the wearer's own usual. When a change holds, the wearer and the family both get an update, each in their own words.
The Tama app
Your resting heart rate has been higher for a few weeks.
Sleep, activity and everyday routine can all move it.
The family app
Margaret's resting heart rate has been higher for a few weeks.
You could ask Margaret how she's been feeling.
