CareShield app offers gentle check-ins for elderly relatives

Original: We're fine. The app tells them. CareShield is gentle: if a phone stays quiet past the window we chose, it asks us first,

A mobile app called CareShield is being promoted that monitors whether a person's phone has gone quiet for a chosen period of time. Instead of raising an alarm, it first asks the user directly; only if there is no response does it notify family members, described as the person's children. The app, made by PulseSoul and free on Google Play, is pitched as optional and non-intrusive, aimed at relatives who want reassurance that an older parent is fine without constant calls.

Why now: Aging populations and families living apart are driving interest in low-pressure wellbeing check-in tools for elderly relatives
