Frequently Asked Questions
I'm a senior living alone in Dartmouth.
Check in once daily with one tap, and the free check-in reminds you if you're late. On Protect Me, if you miss it your family member gets escalating alerts. It's your daily safety net — simple and reliable.
Atlantic storms knock out power regularly.
If a storm prevents your check-in, that's exactly when your family should be alerted — which Protect Me does automatically. The app works as long as your phone has battery and brief connectivity.
I'm at Dal and my family is in Ontario.
One daily tap replaces the 'are you okay?' calls. Your parents get peace of mind without you having to remember to call every day.
Is this free?
Yes — the daily check-in and reminders to you are free forever, with no hidden subscription. Automatic family alerts on a missed check-in are part of Protect Me.
Does this work in rural Nova Scotia?
The app needs only a moment of cell service once per day. If you have any connectivity during the day, you can check in.
