The family worrier's app. Kids walking home from school. Teenager who just passed their driving test. Sister walking home from a late shift. Mum in her own house. Real fall detection, real escalation cascade, real ARC routing — for the people whose phone you check every night to make sure they got home.
The app shapes itself around whoever you're watching. Add as many people as you have — one subscription covers the whole household. Same engine across all five roles; only the home screen, alert language and feature focus change.
When the kids grow up and start driving, switch the Kids role for a Teen Driver role. When Dad gets older, add the Elder role. Your subscription, contacts and history move with you — no re-onboarding when life moves on.
Open the app at 9pm from the sofa. The green card says All clear, last activity is 4 minutes ago, and you can see exactly when Mum took her meds, walked to the garden and confirmed her check-in. Three taps to call her if you want a chat. That's the whole experience, by design.
Green / amber / red at a glance. Last activity, location, recent alerts.
Woke up, moved, took meds, checked in. Plain English, time-stamped.
See who else is monitoring + their last login. Sibling coordination without the WhatsApp group.
Most families finish the setup in under 10 minutes. Your relative barely notices the app is there — it runs in the background.
iPhone, Android, Apple Watch SE, or Galaxy Watch — pick whichever they're already comfortable with. We email a one-tap install link. No app-store hunting.
Your siblings, your partner, the neighbour who's nearest. Every alert reaches everyone in the group at the same time — closest responds first.
The app does its thing. You'll get a push notification within 8 seconds of a fall. Everything else (medication confirmed, location, daily check-in) lives in the app for when you want to look.
Accelerometer tuned for slower elderly falls — the standard lone-worker profile misses these. 8-second cancel window if it's a false alarm.
At-home / out / specific place. Geofence the house, the garden, the local shop, grandkids' school — alerts on exit if you want.
Set per-prescription. They tap confirmed; you see it from your phone. Missed dose alerts after a grace period.
A gentle 'I'm OK today' tap each morning. Voice-trigger version for arthritic fingers. No tap = welfare ping to the family group.
Per-family-member sleep schedules so a 3am false alarm doesn't wake the wrong sibling. Genuine emergencies always wake everyone.
Push + SMS + WhatsApp to everyone in the group, same moment. First to acknowledge stops the cascade so siblings can coordinate.
Vygard Family is the only Personal app that's two-sided: the relative wears a watch + carries a phone (the safety end), and every family member runs the dashboard on their own iPhone or Android (the watching end). Both sides install free; one subscription covers the whole group.
One subscription covers the whole family — no per-adult license. The relative's watch and phone stay theirs after the subscription ends; we just stop running the dashboard. No data lock-in.
Your Family plan already sends the alarms — a fall, an SOS, leaving a safe zone. Howie catches what comes before. He quietly learns each person's routine and tells you, the account holder, when something's genuinely off — never the child, never a false alarm for ordinary life.
Longer-than-usual stillness, a missed morning routine, unusual night-time activity.
Left a safe zone at an odd time, out during school hours, an unfamiliar area.
An unexpected long stop mid-journey, or no arrival by the time expected.
Off-itinerary, in an unexpected region, or no movement beyond the norm.
Tuned to your pack. Howie judges “abnormal” by what the person actually does — an elderly parent, a child, a driver, a traveller.
Notifies you, not them. Every Howie alert goes to the account holder and the family group — the person being watched is never pinged.
On or off, any time. Add Howie for $10/mo from your family dashboard; the base plan keeps working fully without him.
A safety net, not a medical device. Howie flags early signs to a human — he never replaces 999 or care visits.
Howie learns the normal day, notices when it doesn't happen, and tells you — before it becomes an emergency.
one flat price — no tiers
Everything a family needs to keep watch together: fall & crash detection, live location, safe zones and one-tap SOS to your whole family group + 999.
$20.99/mo all-in · add to any Family plan
Vygard's AI watcher, Howie, learns your loved one's normal day and watches 24/7 — spotting the subtle changes a busy family misses: longer-than-usual stillness, a missed morning routine, leaving a safe zone at an odd time. He tells you before it becomes a 999 call.
14 days free — no card up-front. Howie is a $10/mo add-on you can turn on or off any time from your family dashboard; the base plan works fully on its own. Cancel before day 14 and you're not charged.
Auto-fall detection catches the majority of falls but not all of them — soft falls onto carpet, lying down deliberately, transfers from chair to bed can read like the same accelerometer profile. We layer multiple signals (movement, location, check-ins) to reduce false negatives, but no consumer device is 100%.
Vygard does not replace care visits, prescribed medication management, or clinical supervision. We're the layer that catches what those miss in the hours between. If you're considering Vygard because the existing care is inadequate, please escalate the care first.
