At the heart of Helpany's product is an app and the radar-based device called Paul, ingeniously designed to make the well-being of seniors visible and to keep family caregivers informed if they need help. Paul senses human motion, which reveals the level of physical activity, daily routines, and behavioral habits of seniors for family caregivers through the corresponding app. The app also allows seniors to alert family caregivers from anywhere with just a single tap, ensuring immediate attention. Also, thanks to the Helpany app on the senior's smartphone, caregivers will know if the smartphone does not return home. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
