Sleep Doctor Visit

I used the app for the first time today and it is amazing! It summarized a 45 minute appointment into about three paragraphs. Gave all the important information and what I need to do to follow up. I’m wondering how/when there will be some sort of payment required? So far it’s free but from what I see so far it will be worth paying for, as long as it’s reasonable!

We love that Kin gave you a clear, useful recap right out of the gate. To answer your question, Kin is free for everyone, so there are currently no plans for a paywall. So glad it's already proving valuable for you!

Great app for family

Use it for all of our visits to stay in the loop

Response from developer

Yes!! Kin is built for you and your loved ones

First visit

This was my first opportunity to use Kin and I must say I am very impressed with the recap. I procured my physicians permission to use Kin and he gave me a very enthusiastic yes. I see this as a great tool and a way to be able to relax and confer with my doctor not getting stressed as I might forget something.

Thank you for sharing this! We love that you talked it through with your physician first, and that Kin helped you stay present instead of stressed about missing something. Welcome to Kin!

Extremely helpful, makes things easy

Kin has been a godsend for all of the medical appointments with our newborn. It has been so easy to remain focused while in the appointment, and then recall exactly what the doctor said afterward. The takeaways and tracking have been extremely helpful. It’s made follow-ups and next appointments so much easier.

Thank you so much! We're so glad Kin is helping you stay focused during your newborn's appointments and keeping the follow-ups straight afterward. Congratulations, and thank you for sharing this!

Excellent!!

I couldn’t be more thrilled with an app than with this. It’s invaluable! I have several doctors and am at the age where things get muddled and I can’t remember everything. All I have to do is title each visit with the doctor’s name and set to record. The app actually summarises and then expands each point if necessary. Instructions are given at the end of the visit so you don’t go out of the door wondering what advice you were given as you leave the office. It’s the best thing ever, whether you only go to see the doctor every 3 months or every week. Everything is recorded and ready for your next visit and you never forget anything ever again!!
Thank you so much for this app🙏🏼😄

Juggling several doctors is exactly the kind of thing Kin was built for. We're so glad you're enjoying the app, thanks for using Kin!

Amazing

I have a hard time remembering everything that I am told during a visit but everything is here in black and white! No misunderstandings just the correct info. Everyone needs this app that has a lot of doctor visits.

Response from developer

Thank you for this! Making sure all the information is captured and easy to understand is exactly our goal. So glad Kin is helping with your doctor visits.

I’m impressed…but early

Just downloaded Kin this morning. It was easy to setup and to use.

I’m in the hospital currently and I recorded my first doctors conversation. Later another doctor came in and I easily brought up the previous doctors conversation and shared it with him.

Kin seems to filter out non medical conversations and puts in the critical info very effectively.

So far, so good and the app and service is free.

We're so glad Kin made it easy to share what your first doctor said with your next provider. Keeping everyone on the same page is exactly why we built this. Thank you for letting us help!

Everything that you want

Really really impressed by how much this product changed things for me and my family. I get anxious during doctors visits and always go home not really remembering what I’m supposed to do. It’s great Kin has all the context that i do because it sits in the appointment with me. Also really appreciate their commitment to security and privacy, that’s obviously important here.

Response from developer

Hi there, thank you for sharing this! We're so glad Kin is helping ease the anxiety around appointments and giving you a clear record to walk away with. Privacy and security are core to how we built Kin, so we're glad that comes through too. Thank you for trusting us with something this personal!

Helpful for my parents and kids

Kin has been very helpful in managing the health of both my parents, and my child. The summaries are easy to understand, and sharing with family with one tap is a game changer.

Don’t record before reading this

This app may collect audio recordings and transcripts of private medical appointments, and those conversations may be processed by third-party API providers. Before pressing record, users should know exactly where their doctor-patient conversation goes, what is retained, what is deleted, and how this free, venture-backed app plans to make money.

Kin’s privacy materials raise serious questions. Does Kin delete the original audio after transcription? How long are transcripts, summaries, and backups retained? What exact data does Kin keep after each visit? Can Kin use deidentified or aggregated medical conversation data to improve products, analytics, or future models? Can that data ever be shared, transferred, licensed, sold, or used commercially? What happens to user data if Kin is acquired?

Saying third-party providers are restricted from training general-purpose AI models on user data does not answer these core questions. Doctor visits can include diagnoses, prescriptions, mental health, reproductive health, family history, insurance issues, and other deeply personal information.

The privacy disclosure should be impossible to miss before recording begins: whether the audio leaves the phone, whether outside API providers process it, what is stored, what is deleted, how long data is retained, and what rights Kin claims over deidentified or aggregated health data.

Until those answers are clear, users should be very cautious about recording doctor visits with Kin.

Amazing!!

An amazing product that helps put me at ease when my loved are seeing their doctors, so there is nothing lost in translation! Definitely recommend!

Response from developer

We're glad to hear Kin is helping you and your loved ones. Really appreciate the recommendation!

Easy to Understand

Has made it much easier to navigate the healthcare system with aging parents! Now, all I have is that I remember to use the app at appointments - has made communication between doctors, parents and myself so much easier. I couldn’t recommend an app more!

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing this! We built Kin with families like yours in mind, so everyone involved in a parent's care can stay on the same page. So glad it's making things easier for you and your family.

Great for myself and aging parents

Have used this for myself and went back to the notes to check on prescriptions doctors wrote.

Also great for myself parents when I’m not able to join them.

Response from developer

Being able to check back on what a doctor prescribed, for yourself or for a parent you couldn't be there for, is exactly why we built Kin this way. So glad it's helping your whole family.

Amazing for health

Such a great healthcare app for me and my family

Care Coordination Goals

Wonderful app! Helps me remember my doctors recommendations without having to write it all down!

Response from developer

Not having to write everything down yourself, and using Kin to remember the doctor's recommendations, is exactly the goal. So glad it's working for you.

So helpful

Heard about this from a friend who is also going through a challenging medical issue. This app has really helped me to understand more of what the doctor is saying and being able to share it with my family.

Response from developer

Thanks for sharing your experience! We're glad Kin is helping you understand more of what's discussed at your visits and keep your family in the loop.

Game changer for healthcare

Pretty much every time I go to the doctor, I get valuable advice. Which I then forget. Either they tell me something or they hand me a piece of paper or send me an email - it’s all great until I lose it or forget about it. With Kin, I can capture everything my doctor says and have it organized and available whenever I need it. Plus, I can share it with family, which has been a game changer for my parents. This is AI for patients done right.

Amazing app

I’ve started using this for my own visits and also for my parents’ doctor appointments. Super useful for keeping track of care, and really easy to use.

Life saver

Extremely helpful for all doctor visits. I can remember things that otherwise are forgotten. I can understand confusing instructions. Have used for PT sessions and therapy in addition to my more medical doctor visits. Thank you!

Really easy to use

Kin is really easy to use and the user interface is smooth. Love the questions it recommends for my next doctor visit.

Response from developer

Glad the questions Kin suggests ahead of your next visit are coming in handy. Thanks for the kind words!
