SAMIE Sidekick

Concept preview, in development

SAMIE Sidekick

The caregiver's AI companion, for every stage of life.

One trustworthy place that pulls a loved one's real health information together, tells you what to do next, and quietly gets the busywork done, with you in control.

Occupational-therapy informed support, across the lifespan.

Mom's medication changed today

Her list is updated and the family circle has been sent the plain-language summary.

Marcus's OT visit overlaps the pediatrician

I can contact the OT and ask to reschedule the appointment.

Dad's refill runs out in 3 days

Want me to call the pharmacy? You approve before anything is sent.

The problem

Caregiving breaks down at coordination.

Family caregivers are not short on love. They are short on a system that puts the pieces in one place and helps them do the next step.

37%

spend 11+ hours a week on care coordination alone, before any hands-on care

1 in 3

describe their care as fragmented, scattered across portals and providers

72%

want a service that handles the scheduling, insurance calls, and refills for them

How it works

See it. Approve it. Done.

1

Everything in one place

Through secure health-record interoperability, SAMIE Sidekick pulls medications, immunizations, and visit history from multiple health systems into a single, plain-language view. No more stitching together a dozen logins.

2

Approve the next step

SAMIE Sidekick reads that record through an occupational therapist's clinical lens and proposes a clear next step, what a medication is for, what appointment is coming, what home change or equipment would reduce risk, for you to approve.

3

Done for you

Once you approve, the voice-agent layer handles the time-consuming tasks for you, a refill request, an insurance pre-authorization call, and shows you exactly what it did.

Across the lifespan

The same companion, whoever you care for.

Because occupational therapy spans the entire lifespan, SAMIE Sidekick supports caregivers of children with developmental and sensory needs, adults recovering from injury or illness, and older adults aging in place.

Older adult

After a cardiology visit

Mrs. Lopez's doctor changed a medication. SAMIE Sidekick updates her med list, shares a plain-language summary with the whole family, catches that the new drug compounds a dehydration risk hiding in her existing meds, and offers one small, doable step, all before her daughter has taken off her coat.

Child, developmental and sensory

A hard afternoon with a 7-year-old

Marcus is autistic, and a new medication seems to be making evenings harder. SAMIE Sidekick already has the visit summary and med change in one place, flags that the medication can disrupt sleep, and, drawing on pediatric and sensory behavior support, offers Dana an evidence-based strategy to try tonight, so she does not have to wait (and remember) to ask at next week's OT visit.

Before it lapses
Blood pressure refill running low
Dad has 3 days left. Want me to request the refill from the pharmacy?
Prescription expired
The pharmacy needs a new order. I drafted a message to Dr. Reyes for you to review.
Review and send Edit

Adult child caring for a parent

Refills, without the phone tag

SAMIE Sidekick notices Mr. Carter's prescription is about to run out and alerts his son. With approval, it calls the pharmacy, and when it learns the script has expired, it does not guess, it flags that a new order is needed and drafts the message to the doctor to review and send. Three phone calls and a week of phone tag become one notification and one tap.

What makes it different

Organizing information is the starting line. Action is the difference.

Occupational-therapy informed

Most caregiver apps store and organize. SAMIE Sidekick interprets a real health record through a clinical lens, backed by 30+ years of combined OT experience and evidence-based practice.

The record meets the home

The only approach we know of that connects health information to the physical home where care actually happens, turning an insight into a concrete safety change or piece of equipment.

Real, vetted humans

When human help is needed, SAMIE hands off to a real, vetted occupational therapist from a nationwide network, not a dead end.

Done-for-you, in your control

SAMIE completes tasks, but never takes a high-stakes action on its own. You review, you approve, and you can see exactly what it did and why.

Built on trust

Private by design. Human in the loop. Made to be affordable.

HIPAA compliant by design

Your data stays yours

Privacy, security, and HIPAA compliance by design. We collect only what is needed and are transparent about how it is used, before you share anything.

You are always in charge

No consequential action happens without your approval, and a clear record shows what was done and why.

Within reach of real families

Cost is the top barrier caregivers report. Affordability is a design requirement, with a subsidized-access path so no one is shut out.

Who is building it

Proven pieces, brought together.
