Button Simple
Read full descriptionHide full description
Button Simple is the daily wellbeing check-in for families caring for an aging loved one. Each day, your loved one presses one button to say "I'm OK." The whole family is notified, and you follow up together. It is the opposite of an emergency alert. Rather than waiting for something to go wrong, Button Simple turns a moment of reassurance into a daily family rhythm. The daily loop: - Press. Your loved one taps one large, friendly button, once a day. - Beacon. The press reaches your whole caregiving team. - Availability. Caregivers say they are available to follow up. - Follow-up. Someone connects, usually within minutes. You decide together, ahead of time, who answers and how, so the daily press is always met with warmth instead of uncertainty. Ideal when a loved one lives alone, and built for a team of caregivers so no one carries it alone. It turns a phone or tablet you already own into an always-on beacon. WiFi is enough, and older devices work well. Button Simple is not a medical device, and it does not track location or monitor your loved one. It is a warm, respectful way for your family to stay connected, every day. Families, connected.
