For older adults living independently
Caradomi watches for the ordinary things that go wrong — a missed morning, a smoke alarm nobody answered, medication not taken — and records them for the family the person chooses.
Six things, and the difference between an iPhone and an Android phone is stated with each — because that difference is worth knowing before you choose a phone for someone.
Reaches the trusted contact the person chose, with a text containing a map link. On Android the phone places the call and sends the text itself. On iPhone, Apple requires the person to confirm each one, so Caradomi prepares them and they press send.
One button each morning. If it is not pressed, that is recorded and the family can see it in the family portal. Automatic alerts to family are not switched on yet — see Messaging.
Reminds at the times the person set. A missed dose is recorded for the family portal. Automatic alerts to family are not switched on yet.
Listens for a smoke or carbon-monoxide alarm and speaks up if one sounds. On Android it keeps listening while switched on. On iPhone it listens while the app is open.
Records spoken family stories, kept on the person’s own phone.
A printable one-page summary for paramedics to find on the fridge.
Written down where you can find it, rather than left for you to discover later.
Older adults who live on their own and want to keep doing so, and the adult children or friends who worry about them.
There is one app. The older person uses it; the family they invite sees only what that person agreed to share.
What the app records stays encrypted on the person’s own phone unless they choose to share it.
The privacy policy lists every outside company that ever receives anything, what they get, and whether it can be avoided. This site loads no fonts, scripts, or images from anywhere else, so visiting it tells nobody but us that you were here.
It does not call 911, does not summon an ambulance, and is not a substitute for one. It notifies a person the user chose.
If you need emergency help, dial 911.
