Frequently Asked Questions
What if they don't have a smartphone?
A basic Android smartphone costs under $100. Much cheaper than medical alert hardware, and useful for more than just our app.
Is a phone as reliable as dedicated hardware?
Phones are with people throughout the day. Pendants get forgotten, base stations have range limits. Phones travel.
What about seniors who don't like phones?
If they already have one (even basic usage), our app is the simplest thing on it. One button, no phone skills needed.
Do they need a newer phone?
Works on most smartphones from the last 5-6 years. iPhone or Android.
What about people in rural areas with limited internet access?
The app requires only a brief moment of internet connectivity once per day to complete the check-in. Even a few seconds of mobile data or a brief WiFi connection at a nearby shop is enough. The data usage is minimal, far less than loading a single webpage, so even slow or intermittent connections work fine.
