The Bedside

Bedside is for the moment you need everyone close, fast. When a loved one enters a hospice or end-of-life vigil, hours and minutes matter. Bedside lets one person, the Sender, send an immediate, unmistakable 'come to the bedside' alert to a circle of family and friends with a single tap. WHAT IT DOES - One tap on the home screen sends a push notification and SMS to everyone in your alert circle. - Recipients get a clear notification with a one-tap 'I am coming' confirmation, so you know who is on the way. - Status updates ('vigil started', 'can receive guests', 'come now', 'has passed', 'service details') let the Sender keep the circle informed without composing each message. - A confirmation step appears before any alert is sent, so there are no accidental presses during a hard moment. WHO IT IS FOR - A primary caregiver or family member coordinating end-of-life presence for a parent, spouse, grandparent, or close friend. - Hospice volunteers and lay chaplains who want a simple way to gather a vigil circle. - Anyone tired of typing the same urgent message to fifteen people while in the middle of something else. PRIVACY - We do not profile you, advertise against your data, or share your contact list. Alert events are operational data only, used to deliver the message you sent. - No third-party analytics SDKs are embedded in the app. See our Privacy Policy in-app for the full processor list. PRICING - Bedside is free. Families are never charged to send or receive alerts. NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE Bedside is a personal-notification tool. It is not a medical device, not a clinical communication system, not HIPAA-covered, and not a substitute for 911 or your loved one's care team. Always call emergency services in a medical emergency.
