ContradaFamily Care Command Center Founding families
Opening to a small group of founding families

Usually one person is holding all of it.

Contrada is a shared app for families managing complex care. The medication schedule, the appointment history, the insurance card, and the question of who called the pharmacy tend to live in one head. Contrada moves that load into a place the whole family can see.

Access ends when someone leaves the circle. What they recorded stays, with their name on it.

What it keeps straight

Four things a family needs on a bad Tuesday

Built for a caregiver who is standing up, holding a phone in one hand, and short on time.

Today

One shared view of the day. What is due, what happened, and who did it.

Medications

Doses, times, and a record of what was actually given, for homes where several people give medication.

Document vault

Insurance cards, plans, and medication lists, where they can be found at an emergency room intake.

The care circle

Managers, contributors, and viewers. A grandparent sees the day. A respite worker logs it.

The part that changes the week

Who said they would, and does everyone know?

Most missed details were never forgotten by the whole family. One person said they would handle it, and nobody else knew. Contrada shows each open item with a name on it, or shows that it has none.

Has anyone called the pharmacy?

Example items. Tap one to take it.

An ordinary Tuesday

Nobody had to be reached, reminded, or asked to repeat themselves

We ran my son's care out of a group text, a paper folder, and my memory.
Why it exists

The things that fell through were never the big ones. They were the Thursday dose, the form due Friday, and the question the neurologist asked that I meant to look up and never did.

Complex care rarely runs on one household. It runs on grandparents, aides, neighbors, and whoever is in the driveway. Contrada is built for that whole circle.

The name

A contrada is the district in Siena that a person belongs to for life. It is the word I wanted for the circle that holds a family together, whether or not they share a last name.

Plain answers

What Contrada is, and what it is not

Families put real documents in an app like this. You should know exactly what you are getting before you do.

A personal tool for a family

Contrada is not a medical device, does not connect to a hospital record, and does not give medical advice.

Who opened what

Recording each document open is being built and tested before any family uploads a real document. The access log it feeds already survives even if a document is later deleted.

Not HIPAA covered, and no end-to-end encryption

Contrada is a consumer app, not a covered entity, and the company can technically reach stored data. The privacy policy explains what is stored, where, and who can see it.

Copies, not originals

The vault holds copies for quick access. Keep your originals. Export and in-app deletion are being built, and the privacy policy describes how they will work.

Questions families ask

Straight answers

What is Contrada?

A shared app for families managing complex care. It keeps the medication schedule, the appointments, the important documents and the people involved in one place, so the whole family sees the same picture.

Who is it for?

Families supporting a child or an adult with complex medical needs, including pediatric care and intellectual and developmental disability care. It also suits adult children coordinating care for a parent alongside siblings, grandparents and paid caregivers.

Who can see what?

Only the people you invite to your care circle. Managers run the circle, contributors can log and update, and viewers can see. Removing someone ends their access immediately, and what they recorded stays with the family, with their name on it.

Is it HIPAA compliant?

HIPAA does not apply to Contrada. It is a personal tool for a family, not a healthcare provider or a health plan, and Kindra App LLC is not a covered entity. We say that plainly because some apps imply coverage they do not have. Our commitments come from the privacy policy and from how the product is built.

How is my information protected?

It travels over an encrypted connection and is encrypted at rest. Access rules are enforced by the database itself, not only by the app. Contrada does not use end-to-end encryption, which means our infrastructure could in principle reach stored records. The privacy policy explains the limits in full.

What happens to my documents?

The vault holds copies for quick access, so keep your originals. A second stored copy and recovery of a document deleted by mistake are being built and tested before any family uploads a real document.

Does Contrada give medical advice?

No. It is not a medical device, it does not connect to a hospital or clinic record system, and it does not replace your care team.

Is it in the App Store yet?

Not yet. Founding families will use it before it reaches the App Store, and what they tell us shapes what gets built next.

How do I join, and what happens next?

Write to hello@kindraapp.com and say a little about who you care for. I read every message and answer it myself.

Founding families

Built with a few families, not just for them

Founding families get Contrada before it reaches the App Store, and their week shapes what gets built next. You use it for your own family, and you tell me when something is wrong, missing, or in the way.

If that sounds like your household, write and say a little about who you care for. I read every message and answer it myself.
