What CheckPoint Does Differently
Encrypted Emergency Context
Attach medical details, access instructions, encrypted files, and credentials to your check-in protocol. Your contacts receive actionable information, not just "they did not check in."
SMS + Email Delivery
Push notifications can be silenced or missed. CheckPoint sends alerts via SMS and email simultaneously, ensuring your contacts receive the message on channels they actively monitor.
Beyond Daily Living
Still Here focuses on daily check-ins for people living alone. CheckPoint supports that and more: solo travel, night commutes, recovery, protests, and family coordination across time zones.
