All features › The help button
A small battery-powered button that lives in his home and does exactly one thing. When he presses it, everyone who loves him knows within a second — the base station in his house, the indicator in yours, the app, and the phone in your pocket, all at once. Nothing for him to learn, wear, or remember beyond one sentence.
Most emergency devices for seniors fail at the same spot: the person they’re for. A pendant gets left on the nightstand. A smartwatch needs charging every night and a tutorial every month. A phone has to be found, unlocked, and dialed — by someone who may be on the floor.
The help button is deliberately smaller than all of that. It’s battery-powered and runs for months between charges. It has no menu, no modes, no screen. One press means one thing: help. That’s the whole interface, and that’s the point — in the moment it matters, there is nothing to remember except that it exists.
It sits wherever he actually is — the chair, the nightstand, the kitchen counter — and asks nothing of him until the day he needs it.
Not a phone tree. Not a queue. One press, and the whole chain goes off together: the base station in his home sounds and lights up, the remote indicator in your home turns red and sounds, the app updates within a second, and your phone gets a push notification that wakes the screen.
The family member across the country doesn’t have to be looking at an app. The indicator on her shelf sounds in her house, within about a second of the press in his.
This chain isn’t a diagram of how it should work — it’s been verified end to end on the bench, press to phone. The platform page lists it among the things that are built and running, because it is.
When someone in the family acknowledges the alert from the app, every device in the chain goes quiet at once — the base station in his home, the indicators in yours, the notifications. He hears the house settle and knows someone is on it. Nobody else in the family keeps getting alarmed about a situation that’s already being handled.
Every press is kept in a permanent alert record, with who acknowledged it and when. Whether it was a real emergency or a test press to make sure the thing works, the record says what happened — useful the next morning, and useful months later when you’re trying to remember how often the hard nights have been coming.
An emergency button that depends on the home WiFi is a button that fails on exactly the wrong day. This one doesn’t: it talks to the base station over its own local radio link, so it keeps working when the WiFi is down.
And it never lets its battery die quietly. The button reports its own battery level every day, and the family sees it on the Devices page alongside every other device in the house. A battery running low is a visible fact you act on — not a silent surprise you discover after the night it mattered.
It’s not a monitored call-center service. There’s no operator reading a script and no monthly operator fee. The alert goes to the people who actually know him — who know which neighbor has a key and what “I’m fine” really means in his voice.
It’s not a wearable fall detector. Nothing to wear, nothing to forget to put on. If automatic fall detection is what your situation needs, this isn’t that, and we’d rather say so plainly.
It’s not a phone. No finding it, no unlocking it, no dialing. In the moment that counts, the entire task is one press.
Everything fires at once: the base station in his home sounds and lights up, the remote indicator in the family’s home turns red and sounds, the app updates within a second, and the family’s phone gets a push notification that wakes the screen.
Yes. The button talks to the base station over its own local radio link, not the WiFi — so it keeps working through the connection’s bad days.
The button reports its own battery level every day, and the family sees it on the Devices page. The battery runs for months between charges, and when it gets low, that’s a visible fact — not a silent surprise.
No. There’s no operator and no monthly operator fee. The alert goes directly to the family, and every press is kept in a permanent record with who acknowledged it and when.
