The Challenge

Caring for aging loved ones is often shared across family and extended networks, but coordinating that care can be overwhelming and inconsistent. ButtonSimple set out to build a lightweight, intuitive tool for caregivers especially those aged 30+ to stay reliably connected with individuals 50+ who may require daily attention, reassurance, or immediate help.

  • Design an interface that’s intuitive enough for older adults, yet robust enough for active caregivers

  • Enable real-time, low-friction communication using the simplest trigger possible: a button

  • Allow primary caregivers to manage a trusted network of secondary caregivers across devices

Our Approach

We worked with ButtonSimple to design a two-mode system focused on simplicity, clarity, and peace of mind. The app separates user roles into “Button Mode” and “Button Press” creating a gentle, non-invasive way to request attention and coordinate care across families.

  • Developed Button Mode for the care recipient’s device a clean screen with a single tap interaction to say “I’m okay” or “I need help”

  • Built Button Press for caregivers, featuring real-time updates, time stamps, and a shared response dashboard

  • Enabled primary caregivers to invite and manage secondary caregivers through secure email flows and access-controlled dashboards

  • Added intelligent modal flows to log caregiver availability and provide a full picture of who’s seen/responded to the alert

Impact & Results

ButtonSimple has given caregiving families a new layer of confidence and calm. With a single tap, care recipients can feel seen and supported, while caregivers receive timely alerts and can respond in a coordinated, transparent way whether they’re near or far.

  • Strengthened daily communication across multigenerational households

  • Reduced uncertainty through real-time updates and shared visibility

  • Increased app adoption through a frictionless sign-up flow and trusted user management

Why This Matters

ButtonSimple represents Kumo’s dedication to designing technology that supports real human connection especially when it matters most. We built a system that respects the dignity of aging adults while giving caregivers the tools to stay present, without being overwhelmed.

  • Showcases Kumo’s ability to simplify complex human needs into elegant, purpose-driven apps

  • Blends accessibility and empathy into every interaction

  • Empowers families to stay connected, informed, and responsive without stress
