Getting started

Setting up takes a few minutes, once.

  1. 01

    Sign in with your mobile number.

    Kinsu texts a one-time code to your Indian mobile number. Your number is how Kinsu knows it’s you.

  2. 02

    Lock it with your phone’s own lock.

    Kinsu opens with your fingerprint, face or screen lock, and won’t set up on a phone without one.

  3. 03

    Write down your 12-word code.

    If your phone’s security settings ever change, it’s the only way back into your records on that phone. Nobody else has a copy, including us.

Kinsu is for adults: it asks for your date of birth and won’t set up for anyone under 18. It also asks for your consent, once for the app and separately for medicine reminders.

The screens

What you’ll use every day.

Today's Schedule screen: four of six doses done. Pantoprazole, Telmisartan, Metformin and Vitamin D3 are marked taken, and two after-dinner doses wait with a Take button.

Today

Today’s doses, at a glance.

The home screen lists today’s medicines in order, with what you’ve taken and what’s still to come. Tap Take when you take a dose, or Undo if you tapped by mistake.

Medicines screen: today's progress, four taken, none missed and two left, with doses grouped under empty stomach, before breakfast and after breakfast.

Medicines

Each medicine at its meal.

Set a medicine for an empty stomach, before or after breakfast, lunch or dinner, bedtime, or a time of your own, and as many times a day as you take it. Daily, on chosen days, monthly, or only when needed.

The reminder has a Take button, so you can mark a dose without opening the app.

More about medicine reminders

Track screen: a week of blood pressure on one chart, with shortcuts to vitals, medications, a daily check-in and sleep.

Track

The week, on one chart.

Track brings your readings and logs together: blood pressure, sugar, SpO2 and pulse on a weekly chart, a daily check-in for symptoms, and logs for sleep, mood, diet and exercise.

Log Vitals screen: latest blood pressure 125/80, blood sugar 112 mg/dL, weight 68.2 kg and pulse 72, with a dated history below.

Vitals

Every reading, with its time.

Log blood pressure, blood sugar, weight, pulse, SpO2 and temperature. The latest of each sits at the top, and the history below is grouped by day.

More about readings

Health Vault screen: an HbA1c report, a follow-up prescription and a lipid profile, each with its doctor, date and tags, under filters for lab reports, prescriptions and imaging.

Vault

The family file, searchable.

Keep prescriptions, lab reports, scans, discharge summaries and insurance papers. Add them with your camera, from your gallery or as a file, crop a photo to the page, and find them by name, doctor or tag.

More about health records

Family

Everyone’s papers, labelled by person.

Add family members and choose whose a record is when you save it. In the vault, switch between people to see only theirs. Medicines and readings are yours: they aren’t kept per person.

It all stays on your phone. Kinsu doesn’t send anyone’s records to them, or to anyone else.

Caring for your parents

SOS screen: an Activate SOS button that opens the dialler with 112, a Medical ID with name, blood group and health goals, and public emergency lines such as Ambulance 102.

SOS

Emergency numbers, one tap away.

Your Medical ID shows your name, blood group and health goals. Public emergency numbers (112, 102, 1091 and 1066) and your emergency contacts are one tap from the dialler.

SOS opens your phone’s dialler with the number ready. You still press call: Kinsu doesn’t call, message or alert anyone for you, and doesn’t share your location.

Kinsu's home screen in dark mode, greeting Ritu Mehra, with shortcuts to add a medicine, log a vital or upload a record.

Easy to read

Made to be read, day or night.

Kinsu is set in Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface designed for people with low vision, and its dark mode follows your phone.

Your data

What stays on your phone, and what doesn’t.

Stays on your phone

Everything you add, encrypted (AES-256):

  • prescriptions, reports, scans and their photos or PDFs
  • medicines, doses and reminders
  • readings, symptoms, sleep, mood, diet and exercise
  • the family members you add, and the records you keep for them
  • your Medical ID and emergency contacts

Leaves it

Two things, both to Google Firebase:

  • your mobile number, so it can text you a sign-in code
  • an encrypted copy of your recovery key, which opens only with the 12-word code you write down at setup

Signing in also sends Firebase the technical details it needs to sign you in safely, such as your IP address.

The honest list

What Kinsu doesn’t do.

  • No AI on your records.Kinsu doesn’t run AI on your health data, and doesn’t send it anywhere to be analysed.
  • No sharing, yet.Nobody else can open your records: not your family, not your doctor, not us. To show a doctor, you show them your phone.
  • No cloud backup.Records live only on your phone. If you lose the phone, they go with it, and they can’t be recovered, by you or by us.
  • Not a medical device.Kinsu doesn’t diagnose, treat or give medical advice. Your doctor does.
  • No ads, and nothing sold.The app has no advertising and no analytics, and nothing you put in it is ever sold.
