Frequently Asked Questions
Bay Alarm has GPS tracking on their mobile device.
GPS is useful for locating someone during an emergency. Our app focuses on daily wellness confirmation, which catches problems before they become emergencies.
How does I'm Alive compare to Bay Alarm's fall detection?
Bay Alarm's fall detection responds to falls as they happen. Our daily check-in catches situations where a fall or illness prevents the daily check-in. Different timing, complementary approaches.
Bay Alarm has better emergency response.
For acute emergencies with a 24/7 call center, yes. But most elderly safety issues develop gradually - missed meals, isolation, declining health. Daily check-ins catch those.
Can I cancel Bay Alarm if I switch to I'm Alive?
They serve different purposes. If budget is tight, our free app covers daily wellness. If you can afford both, Bay Alarm handles emergencies while we handle daily monitoring.
Bay Alarm Medical has good customer reviews. Why should I consider an alternative?
Bay Alarm Medical is well-regarded for emergency response, and those reviews are deserved. However, emergency response only covers acute incidents. Our app addresses the daily wellness gap that Bay Alarm does not cover. Think of it as adding a proactive layer on top of their reactive service. Our app is free, so there is no reason not to use both.
