A shared brain for families caring for an ageing parent.

Forward every doctor's note, discharge letter and pill bottle to one address. Numa links Apixaban, INR results, renal reviews, appointments and claim paperwork into one living record. Agents handle the reminders, the appointment prep and the insurance, so more time is spent on loved ones, less on paperwork.

The problem

Coordination, not medicine, is what breaks down.

When care gets complicated, families end up carrying the missing context between clinicians, appointments, medicines and paperwork.

Every detail
A dose change, a discharge letter, a follow-up appointment, an insurance form. It only works if the right person remembers at the right time.

The cause is almost never the medicine. It's the medication reconciliation that nobody did, the follow-up nobody booked, and the specialist letter that never reached the GP. The family caregiver becomes the memory layer for everyone else.

i.

Medication reconciliation errors

Dose changes after discharge get lost between the hospital, the pharmacy and the kitchen counter. Nobody is sure which version is current.

ii.

Missed follow-ups

Specialist appointments arrive in letters, not calendars. Reminders go to the patient, not the caregiver who actually drives.

iii.

Broken communication

Specialists, GPs and family hold three different versions of the truth. Decisions get made on the worst one.

iv.

Insurance and paperwork

Claims stall waiting for one referral letter. Appeals take weeks. The family caregiver becomes an unpaid claims adjuster.

How it works

Three layers. One inbox.

Numa builds a dated, source-backed care graph for one patient, fed by everything the family forwards, read by agents that handle the legwork.

01 / Capture

Forward to mum-h9k2x@getnuma.app

Each patient gets a unique, unguessable address that only accepts mail from registered family. Discharge letters, prescription confirmations, insurance, photographed pill bottles. LLMs extract structured events: meds, doses, appointments, diagnoses, red flags.

02 / Reason

Per-patient temporal graph

Every medication, result, symptom, appointment and claim becomes a dated fact with a source. Numa knows what changed, who said it, and which later tasks depend on it.

03 / Act

Agents do the legwork

Reminders that know the dose changed last Tuesday. Night-before appointment briefs. Daily digests for distant siblings. Insurance follow-up that chases its own missing referral letter.

Example / Margaret Hollis, 78

One discharge letter becomes a care graph.

When Sarah forwards the Royal Free discharge summary, Numa does not just add another item to a timeline. It connects the dose change to the medicine list, the renal review, the INR result, the ankle-swelling note, tomorrow's cardiology appointment and the insurance claim waiting on a referral letter.

Source Royal Free discharge summary 27 Apr · Cardiology
Medication change Apixaban 2.5 mg twice daily Reduced from 5 mg after renal review
Result INR 2.4, in range Confirmed by Dr Rahman on 28 Apr
Symptom Mild ankle swelling Logged 30 Apr, resolved by morning
Agent action Repeat bloods scheduled 26 May · remind Sarah and James
Brief Ask cardiology about renal dosing Prepared for 3 May appointment
What's in the app

Everything Mum's care touches, in one place.

Family timeline

One chronological feed of meds taken, calls held, documents extracted. Every sibling sees the same source of truth, in the same order.

Forwarding inbox

One address per patient. Every email, every photo, every PDF lands in a structured queue with extractions you can audit and accept.

Medications

With dose-change context: why Apixaban moved from 5mg to 2.5mg, and which letter said so.

Insurance claims

Tracked end-to-end. Numa knows what's blocking and chases the referral letter so the family doesn't have to.

Appointment prep

The night before, a brief: what's changed, three questions worth asking, what to bring.

Daily briefing

The version James in Manchester actually reads. Editorial, calm, three minutes long.

Clinician call notes

Auto-summarised. Decisions, action items by person, red flags, transcript on demand.
