Caregiving for people can be challenging and stressful. Silicon Valley technology company People Power has developed a system designed to improve the safety of persons with dementia and mild cognitive impairment, and to reduce the social isolation of their caregivers.

The system is designed to work without making significant demands on a caregivers’ time and energy. Receive mobile alerts if something appears to be wrong: - Know if someone wandered away from home - Know if they have likely experienced a fall Better understand rest and sleep patterns: - Know what time they went to bed and got up - Track sleep history and quality for improved health insights Enable support from family and friends: - Add specific people to receive alerts - Create and delegate helpful tasks to others - Coordinate family and friends to stay in contact Share health with the Trusted Circle: - Connect Apple Health information to your location - Correlate each persons health data to form trends for individuals - Compare how changes from one persons health may affect another.

Get outside. Sun Light does the rest. Sun Light turns your daily sunlight into a simple ring, a streak, and a clear picture of when you actually got your light — morning, afternoon, or evening. Most people get less daylight than they think. Sun Light makes it visible in one glance, from your home screen or your wrist. WHAT YOU GET • Daily daylight ring and streak • Morning light window — see your first daylight of the day against sunrise • Morning, afternoon and evening breakdown • 7-day history chart • Shareable daily card • Custom daily goal • Sunrise and sunset times • Home screen and lock screen widgets • Apple Watch app and complications HOW TRACKING WORKS With an Apple Watch, daylight is recorded automatically — nothing to start or stop. Apple Watch writes Time in Daylight to Apple Health and Sun Light reads it. Without an Apple Watch, use a Sun Session: tap start when you head outside, tap stop when you come back. Sun Light saves those minutes to Apple Health too. Automatic tracking requires Apple Watch Series 6 or later, Apple Watch SE (2nd generation), or Apple Watch Ultra, on watchOS 10 or later. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No server. No analytics. No ads. Your daylight data stays in Apple Health on your devices. SUN LIGHT PRO Sun Light is free, and everything above stays free — including the shareable daily card. Pro adds your morning light window history and unlimited history beyond the last seven days. 7-day free trial, then $24.99/year — or $49.99 once for lifetime access.
