Designed for real life. Built on trust.

Permission-Based

The older adult decides what is shared and with whom.

Helpful, Not Overreaching

Caregivers see approved information—not private chat history.

Actionable Support

Guided reminders, daily plans, and requests for help—at the right time.

Privacy First

Secure, separate accounts and clear controls for everyone.

Human in Charge

AI organizes. People decide. Tommy never replaces human judgment.

Caregiver vision — proposed

Working together,
in their own views

Tommy helps older adults stay on track with what matters most.

Caregivers have a separate view of approved updates and follow-up items—so they can help without taking over.

Why we're building it

Why we are developing
Family Care Connection

Family Care Connection is a proposed future expansion of the TrustyTommy platform.

The concept is inspired by the everyday problems caregivers face:

Repeated
reminders
Incomplete
handoffs
Missing personal
details
Scattered family
information
Constant need to
check what’s done

Please note: Participation in the challenge does not mean TrustyTommy has been approved, certified, endorsed, or funded by ACL or the federal government.

Built by people who care

Built by the TrustyTommy team and informed by direct family-caregiving experience.

We know the day-to-day. We also know technology can help—when it respects privacy, supports people, and never replaces human judgment.
