When seconds matter,
words save lives.
We're building technology that makes emergency family contact instant, memorable, and accessible—because finding help shouldn't require remembering 10 random digits.
We've Forgotten How to Remember
Our smartphones hold everything—until they don't. And in emergencies, that dependency becomes dangerous.
Less than 30%
of adults can recall their spouse's number from memory. Most don't know their parents' or children's numbers either.
Lost & Vulnerable
Police reports document countless cases of lost children and seniors unable to provide contact information.
Device Dependency
Dead batteries, broken screens, or lost phones turn emergencies into catastrophes.
The Cost of Forgetting
A 5-year-old separated at a theme park. An elderly woman with a broken phone. A teen in their first car accident.
These aren't hypotheticals. They're daily realities that happen because we've traded memory for convenience.
The solution? Make family contact as simple as remembering your own name.
It Happens in Seconds
The moments that matter most are the ones we never see coming
Lost Child
A crying 5-year-old at an amusement park, surrounded by strangers, can't remember mom's phone number. Security asks for help—what now?
Elderly Emergency
Grandma collapses at the store. Her phone is shattered. Her wallet's at home. She knows her daughter's name, but not her number.
Teen Accident
First fender bender. Phone battery dead. Can't remember dad's number. The other driver is waiting. Panic sets in.
Solo Adventure
Mountain biking alone, you crash hard. No cell signal. A hiker finds you but you can't tell them who to call.
Your Brain Under Stress
Neuroscience proves it: we're wired for words, not numbers
Trying to Remember Numbers
- Working memory drops to ~12% under stress
- Cortisol floods the brain, shutting down recall
- Random digits have no emotional anchor
Remembering Meaningful Words
- Emotional memory stays at 94% recall rate
- Family names bypass the stress response
- Semantic memory is stress-resistant

Rishi Suthar
The idea for Kintact came after learning about children and seniors who became lost because they couldn't remember a loved one's phone number. It was striking how something so simple could spiral into fear and chaos.
Drawing on over seven years in software development, Rishi partnered with emergency responders and families to create a system built for real moments of panic—where remembering a name is easier than remembering ten digits.
