Inner Circle · Private family connection
Inner Circle is a private space for the people an older person trusts most. Not a monitoring dashboard. Not an alert feed. A place where family stays genuinely connected — and where the person decides everything that is shared.
Inner Circle begins with the people you name. A son in London. A daughter nearby. A grandchild. A trusted neighbour. You choose who joins, what role they have, and what they can see. Nobody enters your Circle without your explicit invitation.
The notifications your family receives are not generated by Assistiv. They are sent by you — configured in advance, in plain language, at a level of detail you are comfortable with. Your family receives the reassurance you decided to give them.
"Sarah doesn't get a monitoring dashboard. She gets the messages I decided to send her — just automatically, so I don't have to remember."
The distinction that mattersThe notifications Sarah receives don't come from a monitoring system. They come from her mother's choices, expressed in warm, human language. The difference in how that feels — to both of them — is the entire point.
Memories is a structured digital life record — stories, photographs and moments that the person builds in their own words, contributed to by family, and held privately within the Circle.
This is not a photo album. It is a clinical and personal resource. Life story work is an evidence-based intervention in cognitive frailty and early dementia care. A structured record of who someone is becomes invaluable — therapeutically, clinically, and humanly — if they later lose the ability to tell it themselves.
The risk with any family-facing platform for older people is that it becomes a covert monitoring tool with a warm coat on. Inner Circle is designed from the ground up to be the opposite. Every architectural decision starts with the person's agency.
