Dooinwell - for older adults 1.3.8

Dooinwell is a specialized application designed to support families in keeping track of the well-being of older adults living independently. By actively involving the older adult in the process, the app ensures prompt alerts are sent to family members if any safety concerns arise.

• HOW IT WORKS FOR THE PARENT/ OLDER ADULT
  • SAFETY CHECK-INS: Encouraging a new routine, the older adult checks in through the app several times a day within specified time frames.
  • OUTINGS MONITORING: Planned activities can be registered, along with expected durations. Confirmation of safe return home is required thereafter.
  • HANDS-FREE SAFETY: Activation through voice command ("Hey Siri") facilitates seeking assistance without physically accessing a device. A training module is also available for practicing this feature.
  • OPTIONAL KIOSK-MODE: Catering to users less inclined towards phone usage, a special mode can be set up on iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad for easier access and compliance.

• PRIVACY-FRIENDLY
  • Data submitted by the older adult remains confidential unless potential safety concerns emerge, ensuring a non-intrusive monitoring process.
  • Relatives are informed of check-in confirmations only under regular circumstances.
  • In case of suspicious activities, temporary access to additional information like device location and planned outings is granted to assess potential issues.

• HOW IT WORKS FOR RELATIVES
  • Real-time Updates: Stay informed through the app or your Apple Watch, receiving instant notifications when an update is available from the older adult.
  • Smart Alerts: Any safety concerns prompt alerts directly to your Apple devices, ensuring critical notifications are received even in Silent or Do Not Disturb mode.
  • Timely Information Access: Suspicious situations briefly grant access to crucial details such as device status and locations, aiding in evaluating potential risks until matters are resolved.
