Frequently Asked Questions
Medical alert systems require hardware. Don't you?
We use their existing smartphone. No pendant, no base station, no installation. Just download the app.
What if they don't have a smartphone?
A basic Android smartphone costs under $100 and is useful for many things beyond our app. Much cheaper than medical alert hardware.
Is smartphone-only reliable enough?
For daily wellness checks, absolutely. The smartphone is with them throughout the day. One tap confirms they're okay.
What about people who lose their phone?
Fair concern! But they'd also lose a pendant or forget to wear it. Phones are generally kept closer since they're used for other things too.
Medical alert hardware has a direct line to emergency services. How do you compare?
Medical alert systems connect to a call center that then contacts emergency services. We connect directly to your family, who can call emergency services and also physically check on your loved one. For daily wellness monitoring, family-based alerts are faster and more personal than a call center.
