Daily Wellness Check App
A daily wellness check that works for anyone living alone, not just seniors. Automated check-ins with SMS/email alerts if you don't respond.
TL;DR
A daily wellness check is a simple automated routine: confirm you're okay once a day (or more), and if you don't, your chosen contacts are alerted via SMS or email. It's not just for seniors, it's for anyone living alone who wants someone to notice if something goes wrong.
Who is this for
Anyone living alone: remote workers, people who've relocated to a new city, freelancers working from home, individuals with a medical condition, or simply people whose daily routine doesn't naturally include someone who'd notice their absence within hours.
Why Is Modern Isolation a Safety Risk for People Living Alone?
Remote work, geographic mobility, and urban living mean that millions of people spend most of their time alone, often without anyone who would notice their absence within the same day. This isn't about age or vulnerability; it's about the simple fact that when you live alone, a fall, a medical event, or even a power outage can become serious if no one checks.
Typical situation
Alex, 32, is a remote developer who moved to a new city six months ago. He works from home, orders food online, and his colleagues are in different time zones. On a Saturday, he slips in the shower and hits his head. His next work call isn't until Monday. With a daily wellness check at 10 AM, a missed confirmation would alert his brother 400 km away within 30 minutes.
Over 37 million Americans live alone (U.S. Census Bureau, 2023). The number has tripled since the 1960s.
Who Should Use a Daily Wellness Check App?
Remote workers
Working from home with no in-person colleagues. If something happens, who would notice, and when?
Expats & relocators
Living in a new city or country where your social network is still forming. Family is far away.
People living alone
Single adults of any age whose daily routine doesn't naturally include someone who'd check on them.
Medical conditions
Anyone with a condition that could cause sudden incapacity, epilepsy, diabetes, heart conditions, and who lives alone.
How Does a Daily Wellness Check App Work?
1. Daily notification
At the time you choose, you receive a notification. One tap to confirm you're okay.
2. Grace period
Didn't see it? A grace period (e.g. 30 minutes) runs before any alert is triggered.
3. Contacts alerted
If the grace period expires, your contacts receive your pre-written message via SMS and/or email.
Coming soon. Graduated escalation: sequential alert tiers with configurable delays. Currently, all contacts are notified simultaneously.
How Often Should You Set Up a Daily Wellness Check?
Once daily
A single check-in per day, morning or evening. Good for routine monitoring.
e.g. every day at 9 AM
Twice daily
Morning and afternoon/evening. Better coverage for higher-risk periods.
e.g. 9 AM + 6 PM
Custom days
Only on specific days, weekends, days when you're alone, or travel days.
e.g. Sat & Sun only
