All features › The family dashboard
Most monitoring dashboards hand you charts and camera tiles and let you do the worrying math yourself. Ours is an answer board: it opens with a plain-language headline about how the day is going, then tells you exactly what — if anything — needs you. The evidence is there too, but it sits below the answers, not in place of them.
The household overview opens with a headline in plain language — a sentence about how the day is going — followed by a needs-attention list of anything waiting on a person. Below that sit four answer cards, one for each question a worried family member actually has: Are medications being taken? Is he moving around? Is a caregiver there? Does anything need attention?
Each card gives its verdict up front. You read four short answers, and if all four are good, you close the app and get on with your day. That’s the whole point.
And it’s one dashboard for the whole system — the pill dispenser, the motion sensors, the cameras, the help button, and the caregiver shifts all report to the same page.
The design principle underneath everything: a quiet dashboard has to mean things are fine, not that the system stopped looking. So a sensor that stops reporting, or a house with no motion when there should be, is treated as something to flag — it’s never rendered as a blank space you might scroll past.
We put it this way internally: empty is different from hidden. “No motion detected and we’re confident” is an answer. “No data because a sensor went dark” is a finding — and it goes on the needs-attention list like any other.
The medication card doesn’t round the day off to a checkmark. Each dose shows the way it really went: taken on time, taken late, waiting, overdue, skipped, or blocked. A late pickup reads as a late pickup; a dose a caregiver deliberately skipped never masquerades as a missed one.
Alerts are scoped the same way. Resolving one dose’s alert clears that alert — it doesn’t sweep away unrelated ones in the same gesture. Nothing gets acknowledged by accident.
Below the answers sits the evidence. The Around the house section pairs the live floor plan — updating every thirty seconds, rippling on rooms with fresh motion — with the latest still photo from the camera covering the room where motion was last seen.
So when the card says “he’s moving around,” one scroll shows you where, and one glance at the photo shows you the room itself. Answers first, evidence underneath — in that order, on purpose.
First-time users get a guided onboarding, household pages live at private, non-guessable URLs, and the whole thing works as a phone app — installable straight from the browser as a PWA, no app store required.
It’s not a camera feed you have to watch all day. It leads with answers, not raw data. The photos and the floor plan are there when you want to look — the dashboard doesn’t need you staring at it to do its job.
It’s not a medical alert service with a call center. Alerts go to the family and the caregivers — the people who actually know the household — not to an operator reading from a script.
It doesn’t diagnose anything. It tells you what happened in the house — doses, motion, shifts — plainly and honestly. What that means for his health is a conversation with a doctor, not a dashboard.
No. The dashboard leads with a plain-language headline answer about how the day is going, followed by a needs-attention list and four answer cards: are medications being taken, is he moving around, is a caregiver there, and does anything need attention. If nothing needs you, the page says so.
Silence is treated as a signal. A sensor that stops reporting, or a house with no motion when there should be, is flagged as something needing attention — it is never shown as a blank. Empty is different from hidden.
The dashboard works as a phone app — it installs to your home screen as a PWA, with no app store required. First-time users get a guided onboarding, and household pages use private, non-guessable URLs.
Yes. It is one dashboard for the whole system: the pill dispenser, motion sensors, cameras, the help button, and caregiver shifts. An Around-the-house section at the bottom adds a live floor plan and the latest still photo from the camera covering the room where motion was last seen.
