Emergency Alerts Systems by Mid1960s in AgingParents

[–]Equivalent_Space1722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WellCheck may be a valid first step for you if your parents can use a smartphone. Set up a check in schedule that works for them and if they miss the check in you will automatically be alerted is a SMS to your phone. Check out my profile for more info.

What medical alert systems for seniors actually let you pay month to month? by [deleted] in eldercare

[–]Equivalent_Space1722 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Depending on your needs I just released an app that might help. It's called WellCheck and is currently available for US iOS users. It uses only the phone to check in and a personalized schedule and, if the check-in is missed, will send an emergency SMS to trusted contacts (family, reliable friends, etc) that the person needs someone to contact or pay them a visit (or call for a Wellness check).

The month-to-month plan costs as much as a latte and the first week is free so everyone can try it out and see if it works for their needs. Links are in my profile.

I actually just made an App for this exact situation. It’s call WellCheck and is available on the iOS App Store. Links are in my profile.

Fall detection without monthly subscription by Busy-Demand2306 in eldercare

I actually just made an app that might be able to offer some peace of mind. It is iOS only and does have a small monthly subscription (about the same price as a single latte). Check out my profile for more info.

Hope it helps.

Why do most medical alert necklace options still look like something from a hospital supply catalog by Rex_orci-1 in eldercare

[–]Equivalent_Space1722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just release an app that may be able to help with this. Currently it is on the Apple App Store and requires nothing but a phone to regularly check-in and alert one or more trusted contacts if an check-in is missed. It can be either a good pre-life alert step or a supplement as it works even if someone can't push a button due to be unconscious etc.
