Safety for elderly parents living alone: a simple daily plan
Most parents want to stay in their own home. Most children worry about the hours nobody is around. A good safety plan respects both.
With Heartnod the plan is simple: one tap a day to say they're fine, one tap for SOS when they're not, and a QR card in the wallet for when they're outside.
How it works
A daily check-in
Every morning on WhatsApp. Missed? You hear before lunch.
Backup contacts nearby
A neighbour or relative who can knock on the door if you're far away.
SOS and a QR card
SOS alerts everyone with location. The card tells strangers who to call.

Questions
Is this a medical alarm?
No. It's a family tool. In an emergency, always call your local emergency number.
Will they feel watched?
No tracking. Location is shared only when they press SOS.
What if they go into hospital or travel?
Turn on Away mode until the date they're back, so nobody gets false alarms.
