Independent-living safety
without a camera in the room

Independence without the trade-off

The trade-off families dread is independence versus safety: the more freedom an older relative keeps, the longer they're on their own if something goes wrong. Vygard Elder Care, now on the App Store, is built to remove that trade-off — safety cover that follows the person, without putting a camera in their home.

Fall and no-movement detection, one-tap SOS

The app uses the phone's motion sensors to detect a fall or a prolonged lack of movement and raise the alarm to carers and a monitoring centre, with live location. A discreet one-tap SOS does the same on demand. Daily welfare check-ins give a quiet, positive signal that all is well — and escalate automatically the moment one is missed, so a problem is caught in minutes rather than at the next scheduled visit.

Dignity by design

Everything is deliberately low-intrusion: no cameras, no constant surveillance, just safety that activates when it's needed. For telecare and independent-living providers it's a way to extend cover to more clients without more home visits.

Elder/independent-living care is a service pack inside the Vygard app — download Vygard and choose it at first launch. (For a family watching over a relative themselves, Vygard Family is the consumer app.) Download Vygard at https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/vygard/id6773709259.
