Frequently Asked Questions
Winnipeg hits -40°C in winter. How is this useful?
On Protect Me, if extreme cold causes a medical emergency or prevents you from reaching your phone your family is alerted automatically. When it's -40 outside, every hour matters.
My mom lives alone in Wolseley.
She checks in once daily with one tap, and the free check-in reminds her if she's late. On Protect Me, if she misses it you receive escalating alerts. It gives her independence while keeping you informed.
My family is all in Ontario. I moved here alone.
A daily check-in replaces the guilt of not calling daily. Your family gets confirmation you're okay — no coordination needed across time zones.
Is this free?
The daily check-in and reminders to you cost nothing, with no hidden subscription. Family alerting on a missed check-in is part of Protect Me.
Does this work outside Winnipeg in rural Manitoba?
