KISA Reminders - Automated Medication and Daily Reminders for Seniors and NDIS Participants
Life runs smoother with gentle reminders. KISA Reminders helps users stay on track with everyday tasks through easy-to-set voice alerts. Whether it’s taking medication or calling a loved one, it brings structure and reassurance to each day.
Your Personal Memory Aid
KISA Reminders is an assistive technology feature that helps the user stay organised, independent, and on time - every day. With simple scheduling of unlimited text-to-voice messages, the user receives spoken reminders for medication, appointments, and daily tasks. KISA Reminders ensures that nothing important is ever forgotten.
Helping Users Stay on Track Every Day
Daily routines can be easily disrupted by memory lapses, especially when managing medications, health appointments, or everyday activities. KISA Reminders supports health, safety, and wellbeing by:
- Encouraging medication and hydration consistency
- Promoting independence and confidence
- Reducing stress for carers and families
- Supporting better overall health outcomes
Research shows that consistent reminders improve memory and independence in older adults, particularly those experiencing dementia or cognitive decline. KISA Reminders helps users maintain dignity and control, while easing the mental load on loved ones and caregivers.

Common Questions About Medication Reminders for Elderly People
What is the best medication reminder for elderly people in Australia?
The best medication reminder for an elderly person is one they cannot miss and does not require them to do anything to set it up daily. Smart pill dispensers require loading in advance and rely on the person seeing a visual cue. A voice-based reminder delivered directly to a device the person already carries is harder to miss. KISA Reminders delivers automated text-to-voice reminders to any KISA device at the exact times set by a carer or family member. The person hears their reminder spoken clearly through the device - no app to check, no light to notice, and no pills to load.
How is a voice reminder service different from a pill dispenser?
A pill dispenser is a physical device that needs to be loaded with the correct medications at regular intervals, usually by a carer. If the loading is missed or the person ignores the alert, the reminder fails. A voice reminder service - like KISA Reminders - delivers an automated spoken message to the person's phone or device at the scheduled time, with no physical setup required. There is nothing to charge, load, or maintain. Reminders can also cover appointments, daily tasks, and personalised messages, not just medications. For people living alone, a voice reminder is often more reliable because it does not depend on a carer being present to prepare it.
Can medication reminders be funded through NDIS or Support at Home?
Yes. For Australians aged 65 and over, the Support at Home program can fund assistive technology that supports daily living, which includes devices and reminder services that help with medication management. For NDIS participants under 65, medication reminder services may be funded under the Assistive Technology or Daily Activities support categories. The KISA Guardian is the Support at Home device; the KISA Companion is the NDIS device. Both include the KISA Reminders service. A KISA team member can confirm what is covered under your specific plan.
How do automated medication reminders work for elderly people?
Automated medication reminders are set up by a carer or family member through the MyKISA portal. Each reminder has a set time, a message, and a repeat schedule. When the scheduled time arrives, the KISA device speaks the reminder aloud through its speaker. The person does not need to press anything or check an app. Missed reminders are logged in the portal, so carers can see at a glance whether reminders are being acknowledged. Reminders can be set for medications, appointments, daily tasks, or any personalised message the family wants to include.
