About

Senecta

Read full description

Senecta keeps watch over someone you love, at home. A small pod in their room notices if they fall, asks out loud if they’re okay, and calls the people you choose if they don’t answer. In the app you see at a glance that all is quiet at home, read what happened after an alert, step by step, choose who is called and in what order, and check that the pods are online.
