The day, the time, and what comes next.
The screen stays on all day and dims at night. You set the family line from your phone.
Compasse for iPad and iPhone
The Countertop Assistant that tells you when Mom has not confirmed a dose.

An iPad on their counter shows the time, the day and what comes next, in big type. They tap once to ask Cassi, the assistant. Same question, same patience, every time.
You need an iPhone for you, an iPad from 2017 or newer at their home, and a US App Store account.

What Mom sees
On Mom’s counter, all day
The time, the day, the date, a line from you, and what comes next. Large enough to read across the room.
Tap to talk.
They tap the bar and ask. Cassi answers the same question with the same patience, every time. No wake word to remember.
Medicine reminders they confirm.
At dose time, Cassi reminds them. They tap “I took it”, and your phone shows it. If a dose is still not confirmed after several reminders, your phone gets an alert.
What you see
You run it from your iPhone.
Change the board from anywhere, and see how the day is going.
- See the day at a glance.One card shows which doses were taken and when the board last checked in.
- Know when something needs you.A dose that is not confirmed sends an alert. If the board goes offline, your phone shows how long.
- Change the board from anywhere.Update the family line or add a visit. It shows on the board within seconds.
- Record reminders in your voice.The board plays them at the time you choose, exactly as you recorded them.
- Send a voice message, or check in.A message plays on the board within seconds. A check-in asks a yes or no question, and the answer shows in your app. Set a daily check-in, and it runs on its own at the time you pick.
- See what Mom keeps asking.Your phone lists the questions asked of Cassi. Record your own answer, and the board plays it.
No camera and no wake word. The mic opens when they tap, or for a short answer when Cassi asks them something. Cassi is a synthesized voice and never speaks as a family member.
Why Compasse
Built for this one job.
A basic day clock
Shows the day and the date. Most cannot change when plans change, carry a line from you, or answer a question.
A smart speaker
Waits for a wake word they have to remember. It is built for everyone, not for a parent with cognitive decline.
Compasse
The day stays on screen. One tap to ask. You change the board from your phone, and your phone shows which doses were confirmed.

Questions
Straight answers
Will Mom have to learn anything?
One thing: tap the bar and talk. When Cassi asks them something, such as at dose time, they can just answer. There is no password and no menu on their side. Everything else happens on your phone.
What if Mom will not use it?
The board needs nothing from them. The day, the time and what is next stay on screen all day. At dose time Cassi asks, and they can just answer.
How does setup work?
You set up the board on your iPhone: the family line, medicines and visits. Then someone at the iPad types an 8-digit code, once. The code works for 24 hours.
How is this different from an Alexa?
Compasse is built for one job: a parent with cognitive decline and the family looking after them. The board always shows the time, the day and what’s next. You set it from your phone, and your phone shows which medicine was taken and how they answered your check-in.
Is it always listening? Is there a camera?
No. There is no wake word and no camera. The mic opens when they tap the bar, or for a short answer right after Cassi asks them something, such as at dose time or for your check-in. The privacy policy has the details.
Does Cassi sound like a family member?
No. Cassi is a synthesized voice and never speaks as a family member. When you record a reminder or a message, the board plays your recording exactly as you made it.
Do I have to buy an iPad from you?
No. Any iPad from 2017 or newer with iPadOS 16 or later works, on Wi-Fi at their home.
What if the iPad is unplugged or loses Wi-Fi?
Your app shows how long the board has been offline. Alerts need Wi-Fi at their home and notifications on your iPhone.
Is it a medical device? Can it call 911?
No. Compasse is a comfort and communication tool, not a medical device or a medical alert system. It does not diagnose or treat anything, detect falls, or call 911, and it does not replace a visit, a phone call or a caregiver. Keep your emergency plans in place.
What does it cost, and can I cancel?
$29 a month after a 7-day free trial. Cancel online anytime, no phone call. For a refund, email us within 30 days of your first charge. If care ends, choose “Care has ended” on the manage page and billing stops right away.
