A daily check-in app for seniors who live alone
A daily check-in app answers one question every morning: is everything fine? With Lanturne, the person you look after taps I'm OK on a smartwatch once a day, and you see it on your phone. If the tap doesn't come by the time you chose, you get an alert.
How the check-in works
- You pick the check-in time in the app. After breakfast, after the dog walk, whatever fits.
- At that time the watch buzzes and shows a big I'm OK button.
- One tap, and your phone shows the check-in.
- If the tap doesn't come by the time you chose, your phone gets an alert. If you don't answer
There is nothing to remember and nothing to charge in the living room. The check-in comes to the watch on its own every day.
Try it free for 7 days on Google Play.
What else it notices
A check-in that needs a tap only works on days when someone can tap. So Lanturne also sends you an alert when:
- The watch goes quiet for longer than you chose. The battery ran out, or the watch was left in a drawer.
- The watch is worn but finds no pulse and no movement for as long as you chose.
- The watch detects a fall and it isn't canceled.
Why a watch and not a phone app
Many check-in apps ask for a tap on a phone. A phone sits on a table or in a bag. A watch is on the wrist, so it can also notice when it goes quiet, or when it is worn and finds no pulse and no movement, even on a day when nobody taps anything.
What you need
- An Android phone for you.
- A Wear OS watch for the person you look after, such as a Samsung Galaxy Watch. Refurbished Galaxy watches start at $89. Everything you need
- An Android phone in their home to set up the watch the first time.
