Is he OK?! Senior safety monitoring app
My grandmother felt on the ground one day, there was nobody around her.
My wife's grandfather had his health issues and all were concerned about him.
And now my parents. What if something happens to them? How will I know? How can I help, when I am not around, with two kids. What can I do about it?
And I know my father. He will not carry a smart watch, he will not call me, he will not like being watched by a camera.
What if he can't pick up the phone and call me?
And I don't see such software on the market, that you install on his device, and it stays passively there, not bothering him for anything. Just monitoring there, quietly.
I tried to make this application up and running. With modern technologies, this is possible. The application monitors and updated regularly the patterns of sleep, activeness, and rests. Searches frequently visited places, and if detects something might be wrong, it sends me notification.
For example:
* My father is usually has a daily walk between 7AM and 11AM. If he does not do it, he might have fall, and I will receive a notification;
* He usually have a rest between 14:00 PM and 16:00PM. If the rest goes too long, I will be notified;
* If he is still on an unknown place for a long time, I will get notified.
There are still cases that I follow and resolve, but this is how it is, with software. It requires dedication and support. And I really want to support this and make the product better and better!
It is free the first 21 days, so that people can see if this works for them. Afterwards, I wanted to keep it cheap: $49 annual subscription for the first year, and $5 subscription for each next one. I have some expenses that I need to cover.
I don't do it about the money, I just want to help people.
Why I write this post:
I am writing this post with a request for help. I am in the 'chicken vs egg' scenario. I am desperately searching for people who will trust me. To install it, to try it out, to give me honest and direct feedback. For people to trust me, I need to show that it works.
How can I show that this app works?
If I was producing cups, once someone sees it, I can get instant feedback.
But for my application, this needs time. Something really serious has to happen to a senior person, so that I can show that it can safe lives. But, the good news is that such things does not happen daily. And to wait for something bad to happen to someone, so that I can get back a feedback is just not right.
Please, install it, try to break it, test it, suggest anything. I am opened for discussions.
Let's help well deserved elderly people together, and do good!
Thank you!
