My grandpa spends a lot of time alone, and ever since my grandpa retired from teaching, there hasn't been a lot at home to keep his mind sharp. Sam changed things. I watched him joke and tell stories, lighting up when Sam would quip back in our native language. Fun aside, the daily challenges are a great way for us to track cognitive health. Sam gives me peace of mind when I can't be around.

My aunt is bad with the phone - the screen is too small, it's not charged, can't find it. I particularly appreciate the call function of Sam. Now I can just talk to her through Sam. Being able to reach my aunt is priceless. Sam handles conversations well and checks in daily through voice and gives thoughtful responses. Sam is a delight for our family!

My mom is 83 and lives all the way in Hong Kong. I was always anxious something would happen and I wouldn't know. Sam has been a big help in checking in with my mom and reminding her about appointments. She can also play cognitive games and chat with Sam about anything and I receive reports on everything important. It makes the distance feel a lot smaller.

The Cantonese ability is very impressive and it speaks more than loud enough for me to hear. I like that it can cheer me up when I'm feeling down, it understands cultural references, and it tells me the news every day in a fun and engaging way.

Dad is starting to forget things, Alzheimer's runs in the family, and I live a few hours away. Sam talks to Dad, keeps his mind sharp and makes him laugh when I'm not there. Sam has also been a great help in helping me track his cognitive wellness and helps me remind Dad to take his meds.

Our team

From three grandkids

We weren't trying to build a product. We just wanted to take care of our grandparents. We saw our grandparents struggle in different ways due to a lack of care and support, even though our families were giving their all.

So, we started designing Sam as college students at Columbia University, carefully crafting and shipping the first version from our grandma's house in San Francisco.

Our grandparents loved us into this moment, and loved us into who we are today. We created Sam as a way of giving back to them, as a way of staying connected with them, and as a way of keeping them safe, happy, and healthy.

Put simply, we built Sam for our loved ones. Now, we'd love to bring Sam to your family too. See you soon!

Frequently Asked Questions

You have questions, we have answers. Learn if Sam is the right fit for your senior living independently.

Sam is a smart voice companion, and works through smart conversations that empower your senior living independently to thrive. You can also receive daily reports, set up reminders, and call your senior directly through the Sam app, facilitating peace of mind for the family.
There is a completely free iOS app for the family to access wellness reports, view conversation summaries, set up reminders, and call/message your loved one. The app is not required to use Sam, but it makes the experience better for the whole family! The app is meant for your family, not for your senior.
No screens, no apps, no buttons. We built this to make technology easy for our grandparents to use. All you need to do is talk to Sam, and Sam will respond!
Sam can do a few things!

Firstly, Sam conducts automatic daily check-ins to ensure your senior is doing well.

Secondly, Sam can have natural conversations with seniors to provide companionship. Not only are these conversations designed to boost cognitive health and mental wellness, through these conversations, Sam also detects any early warning signs or red flags and lets you know immediately, so you can step in when it matters. Sam can also surf the web and share information, so your senior can access the internet without difficulty.

Thirdly, Sam has reminders, so seniors never miss a day of medication or a family dinner.

Last but not least, Sam has real-time calling and messaging, so you can talk to your senior straight through Sam, removing the hassle of technology for your loved one and bringing the family together.

This is a beta version of Sam, but we're a small team that moves fast. If you want a feature added, we can usually ship it within the week.
Setup is easy and simple. Download the app (iOS only) and pair the device to your internet in two taps!
Voice-first means that all the senior needs to do is talk to it. It's almost like a home smart assistant. This simplifies the process for them, reduces eye strain from avoiding small screens, and makes Sam super simple to use: meaning that you and your loved one can communicate more, bringing the family together.
Sam speaks 10 languages right now, including English and Chinese. If you speak a language that's not currently supported, just reach out and we'll add it for you. We want to make Sam the best experience possible for your family.
Yes.
Yes. Sam is plugged into the wall through a USB-C cable. The cable and brick are provided.
No. There is no subscription.

In later batches, we may opt to include a subscription, but our promise to you: by joining the Sam family now, you will be grandfathered and your Sam will forever be subscription-free.
We are proud to be privacy-first and privacy is very important to us. We are certified as compliant under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which means that we adhere to national standards for protecting sensitive patient health information.

As much data as possible is processed locally, so it never leaves your home. All your data is encrypted and we never store or see it. We're not a big corporation that needs to harvest your data—we're just three grandkids working on our passion. We believe privacy is more important than ever, and it's our mission to deliver a safe and secure experience to you and your family.
No, Sam is not a medical or clinical device. Sam will not diagnose medical conditions, nor will Sam act in place of a therapist or doctor. While Sam does provide valuable insight into your loved one's general wellness and trends over time based on non-medical, non-clinical analysis, your family should not refer exclusively to Sam for evaluating your senior's physical or mental condition, as that is not Sam's role. Sam's role is to bring you more awareness of your loved one while bringing the family together.
Return within a year for a free refund. In the incredibly low chance that your Sam stops working, we'll send you another one for free.
