Frequently Asked Questions
My mother isn't comfortable with new technology.
This is the simplest app she'll ever use. One large green button that says 'I'm Okay'. That's literally all she needs to tap.
What if Mom is busy and forgets?
We send friendly reminders. She gets multiple chances before you're alerted. No panic over a simple delay.
Can I set it up for her remotely?
Yes! Video call her, share your screen, and walk her through it. Setup takes under 5 minutes.
Will she feel like she's being monitored?
No. She controls when she checks in. There's no location tracking, no surveillance. Just a simple 'I'm okay' each day.
