How it works
One continuous line of attention, from the camera to the caregiver's phone.
Kinocular is not built to understand everything happening in a room. It follows a specific, repeatable process designed to get one piece of information to the right person as quickly as possible — scroll down to walk through each stage.
Start with the camera already in the room
No proprietary hardware, sensors, or wearables to buy, charge, or lose. Kinocular runs as a software layer on top of a compatible camera feed that is already there — the same baby monitor or security camera a family already set up.
Watch while the patient is alone
The system tracks presence and body movement for as long as the camera has coverage, without anyone needing to keep the feed open or watch a live stream. Monitoring runs continuously in the background, not on demand.
Recognize what matters
A departure from the room, a fall, prolonged stillness on the floor, or a predefined behavior like repeated head-banging is flagged the moment it is recognized. These categories were chosen directly from the research on elopement, injury, and self-injury risk in this population.
Tell the caregiver
An alert reaches the caregiver's phone with the type of event, the time it happened, and a short description of why it was flagged. What happens next — checking in, calling someone, or doing nothing — is entirely the caregiver's decision. Kinocular never acts on its own.
Keep a record
Every significant event joins a dated history, with the date, time, type, and description, so nothing depends on memory alone. Over weeks, this becomes a record a caregiver can bring to a clinician or share with other family members involved in care.
Notice change over time
Once enough history has built up, Kinocular can point out that a behavior such as head-banging has become more frequent, or has changed in a way worth a closer look. This is presented as an observation in plain language — never as a diagnosis.
