HBS FoundryHBS FoundryAlma was built by a small team who's lived on the other side of this — worrying about aging parents from far away, watching family stories slip out of reach. We're building the service we wish we'd had.
When you haven't heard from them, the spiral starts: are they just busy, or something wrong? With Alma, that spiral quiets. You'll know when to act — otherwise, put the worry down.
Worsening aches. Missed pills. Subtle shifts in speech, drops in activity. Alma catches small things — through conversation and quiet monitoring — while there's time to act.
Not instead of you — alongside you. Someone to talk to about their morning, their worries, what made them smile. A reliable presence on the days you can't be there.
Their childhood. The recipes. The names in old photos. So much of what makes your family lives only in their head. Alma preserves it — so it doesn't go with them.

I sleep better now — knowing Alma's monitoring. If something's wrong, I'll know.
I feel he's sharper than he's been in years — the conversations really keep his mind working.
My mom would never wear a button. This works because she doesn't have to think about it.
I learned things about my father I never knew. Stories I'll have forever.
We live three states away, but we know how she's doing every day.
Dad lights up every morning. Alma even keeps up with his fútbol.

The most common questions about Alma — how it works, pricing, and getting started.
Alma is a passive health-monitoring service and AI phone companion for older adults aging at home. It watches for changes in daily phone activity and alerts family when something seems off, calls to check on health and cognitive wellness, and can write down the stories your loved one shares. Alma is operated by Alethiom LLC.
Alma monitors passively through the older adult's own smartphone — it learns what a normal day looks like for them and flags unusual patterns in activity and routine, with no extra device required to get started. On the calling plans it also opens each call by asking how they're feeling and gently tracks speech patterns over time. If your loved one chooses to wear a smartwatch, that data can add signals about sleep and whether they may be getting sick, but a wearable is optional.
Alma Watch is free and provides passive safety monitoring with in-app alerts to family. Alma Check-In ($9.99/month) adds a weekly wellness call and a 24/7 safety net that alerts your care circle with calls and texts if your loved one seems unresponsive. Alma Companion ($29.99/month) adds daily companion calls, deeper cognitive and wellness monitoring, and a written life-story biography. Each plan includes everything in the plan below it.
No. Alma is a layer of support alongside family and caregivers, not a replacement for them. It is also not a medical or emergency service and does not diagnose, treat, or replace professional medical care. If you have a health concern, contact a doctor; in an emergency, call your local emergency number.
Alma Watch is free. Alma Check-In is $9.99 per month and Alma Companion is $29.99 per month when billed monthly. Yearly billing lowers the effective price to $8.33/month for Check-In and $24.99/month for Companion — 12 months for the price of 10. You can start for free and cancel anytime.
Alma keeps conversations and personal information private and does not sell or share your data. Only your designated caregiver receives call summaries and updates, and full call transcripts are off by default — shared only if the older adult chooses to turn that on. Alma applies safeguards aligned with HIPAA, including encryption in transit and at rest. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
On each call, Alma has a real conversation about everyday things and opens with a quick, friendly check on how your loved one is feeling — any pain, whether they've taken their medications, how their appetite and mood have been. It quietly tracks speech patterns over time for a gentle read on cognitive wellness and shares a summary with the caregiver. Your loved one can hang up anytime — there's never any pressure.
Yes. On the Alma Companion plan, Alma gently invites your loved one to share their memories and family history across calls, then organizes those conversations into a written biography in their own words — a keepsake your children, grandchildren, and the generations after can hold onto.
Alma is an AI-powered voice companion designed to sound warm and natural. It's not a real person, but it's built to feel like a friendly, familiar conversation — not a robot reading a script.
No. Alma works with any phone — landline or mobile. Your loved one just answers a call. Caregivers can also use the Alma app to manage settings and view updates, but it's not required.
If Alma detects a significant change in mood, routine, or responsiveness, your designated caregiver is notified promptly, and on the calling plans Alma can place a check-in call and alert your care circle if your loved one is unresponsive. Alma is not an emergency service, but it helps surface concerns early so families can act.
Yes. Alma Watch is completely free, so you and your loved one can experience Alma before deciding on a paid plan. You can start for free and cancel anytime.
