The auto check-in app.
Reassurance that your Parents Are OK
Just knowing that your elderly parent is active can give you the peace of mind to go on with your daily routine.
Simple and non-invasive, without cameras, location tracking, wearables, or asking your parent to learn a new app.
WE HAVE senior PARENTS, too.
Why did we build the app?
There is a point in our relationship with aging parents, when we decide: “I need to be sure they are ok! I am worried about their health declining and about possible accidents. How can I find out that they are fine, without becoming too controlling, calling daily, imposing on their normal life?”
Even if we are in the same city or a few countries away, all of us on the Parents are Ok team find ourselves in the same situation. We care, and we worry about our parents. So, we needed to find a way to get reassurance without becoming an annoyance. To check in without them feeling controlled. To be able to pay attention when needed, without intrusive supervision.
We just wanted to create a gentle, discreet way to get useful information from their phones without making our parents use a new app or wear a new accessory.
And Parents are OK is just that.
Safety without intrusion.
One app that notifies caregivers if the phone has not been used for 24 hours (customizable).
It does not use GPS tracking and does not share location. It does not use cameras. It does not ask the parent to press a daily check-in button. It simply detects whether the phone is being used and alerts the family if there is no activity for a full day.
SOMETIMES, WE CAN NOT BE NEAR OUR PARENTS
Living together or living apart
Even if only a few minutes separate you, or if you live in different countries, or even if you live in the same house but have different schedules, you reach a point where you wonder daily: are my elderly parents okay? When you know their health is not the best, they are more fragile and vulnerable, some questions are always in the back of your mind: “When did we last speak?”, “Are they okay?”, “Should I give them a call?”
Parents are Ok is just a simple way to know that normal daily life is happening, whether it’s close by or far away. It does not overwhelm with notifications. It does not expect actions from you or the parent. It only lets you know when attention is needed.
Not an emergency service. Not a log for every movement.
Also, keep in mind that this app is not an emergency service. It will not and cannot replace specialized caregivers, doctors, or assisted living staff. And it will not substitute for family visits.
