From one mum to another ...
“As a caregiver and working mum I have been looking for this technology my whole life, which is why I founded a•kin” Liesl Yearsley (CEO)
As a caregiver, I want these things
Technology cannot do all of these things for you, but it can help you keep track of it all, and support the ones you care for to build their own capacity and skills
I want to know everyone I care for is healthy
Did they eat a healthy meal?
Get out the door?
Brush their teeth?
Can I reach them to see how they are?
I want to know that everyone I care for is managing activities of daily living
Did they get things done?
Get the resources they need?
Do I need to help them?
Are they managing on their own and building independence?
I want to know that people I care for are as happy as they can be
Did they connect with other people who treat them with kindness?
Did they seek their own goals and make progress?
Did they wake up with a smile on their face today?

“As a caregiver and working mom I have been looking for this technology my whole life, which is why I founded a•kin."
I wanted to build technology that cares about my home as much as I do, that cares that we want to live well, eat healthy meals, achieve our goals, and have time left over to spend with people we love, doing things we love. I want a home AI that understands the complex day-to-day life we live, and helps us manage the home so we can get to where we want to go. I want technology that gives me back time.
Like many parents I worry about what will happen to my children after I am gone. I wanted a caring AI who did not have a primary goal of selling us things or getting me to watch a lot of TV, but had a primary goal of our family living well, and helping my children reach for their dreams with hope and joy. I want to know if the person I love is OK - are they eating well, getting to the door that day, and taking care of themselves. Is the support they are getting helping them to reach their goals? I want to know if they are happy.
