The Buddy Circle
Read full descriptionHide full description
The Buddy Circle is an easy-to-use emergency monitoring system with which you and a chosen group of friends or family can remain aware of each other’s wellbeing. It has been designed as an automatic daily check-in system, at a time of your choosing. Currently, there is no charge to the user. Once you set a time to be notified, the system will ask you to check-in at that time on a daily basis. If you fail to check-in, the system will attempt to contact you two more times, at 30-minute intervals. If there is no response after three tries, it will alert your contacts that there is a possible problem. It will also provide your address and a Google map of your location.
