Overview / Description
How Are You?! Senior Safety is an AI senior safety monitoring app that watches over elderly parents living alone using only their Android phone, with no wearables, cameras, or hardware required. It runs silently in the background, learns a senior's daily routine over a 7-day learning phase, and then alerts family members when something looks wrong. Concrete detections include falls and immobility through unusual stillness, medical emergencies signaled by breaks in normal activity patterns, deviations in sleep schedule, and a senior leaving an established safe zone. The app is designed for adult children who worry about aging parents but whose parents reject traditional monitoring such as medical alert pendants, check-in calls, or worn devices, since it requires no interaction or button-pressing from the senior. By relying on passive phone activity rather than cameras or sensors, it aims to preserve a parent's dignity and independence while still giving family peace of mind. It requires Android 9 or newer, offers a 21-day free trial with no credit card, and then costs $99 per year.
Used For
