A day with CareBox
08:15
A voice from London
On her way to work, Naledi records a few words: “Love you, Mom. Don't forget your tablets.” A moment later they play out loud at home in Durban.
13:00
Lunchtime tablets
A reminder at one o'clock, in a voice Mom knows. If a dose is missed, the family app lets everyone know.
16:20
When something goes wrong
A hard fall in the kitchen. CareBox alerts the whole family at once and keeps escalating until someone responds. Sipho lives nearby and is already on his way.
21:00
Goodnight
The day ends the way it should: a familiar voice saying goodnight, and a family that can finally stop worrying.
Two parts. One connection.
Your loved one gets a device that needs no smartphone skills. You get an app that tells you they're okay, wherever in the world you are.

Loved One Voice™
“When you can’t be there in person, your voice can be.”
A daughter working in London. Her mother living alone in Durban. Instead of squeezing a call into a busy day, she records a few words in the CareBox app. Minutes later, they play out loud at home.
- Reminders in a voice they know and trust
- Encouragement across countries and time zones
- Reassurance for loved ones living alone

Who will be there for my mother when I am not?
CareBox started with one daughter's worry about her own mother. It became a mission for every family separated by work, distance and busy lives, built so that no one feels alone because the people who love them live far away.
