Frequently Asked Questions

Alexa Care Hub shows when my parent uses Alexa.

Activity feeds show device usage, not wellness. Your parent could ask Alexa a question while feeling very unwell. Our check-in is an explicit 'I'm okay' confirmation.

Care Hub has an urgent response feature.

Urgent response requires your parent to say 'Alexa, call for help.' If they can't speak or are confused, it doesn't work. Our missed check-in alerts don't require any action from them.

My parent already has Echo devices everywhere.

Great for convenience. Add our free app for structured daily wellness confirmation. Echo activity isn't a reliable wellness indicator.

Is I'm Alive more reliable than Care Hub?

For wellness confirmation, yes. Care Hub infers wellness from Alexa usage. We get explicit daily confirmation. No inference, no guessing - they confirmed or they didn't.
