Frequently Asked Questions
They always forget to call back.
Check-ins are simpler—one tap, done. Easier to remember than returning a call. Plus automatic reminders help.
What if they miss the check-in because phone is on silent?
We send multiple reminders over hours. If they're active during the day, they'll see one. If truly unreachable, you're alerted.
I call multiple times when worried. Is this better?
Yes. Instead of multiple anxious calls, you have one daily confirmation. Missed calls don't mean crisis—missed check-ins might.
They have poor hearing and miss calls.
Check-in doesn't require hearing. They see a visual reminder and tap a button. Works for hearing-impaired users.
My parent screens calls and only picks up for certain people.
With I'm Alive, they never need to answer a call. The check-in notification appears on their screen and they tap once. There is no conversation to avoid, no caller ID to check. It works regardless of their phone habits.
