When Mum falls at home, you know in 8 seconds — not in the morning.
Personal man-down detection, voice-activated SOS, daily check-in and medication prompts on a phone or wearable designed for an 80-year-old's eyes and hands. Family members get the alert at the same moment as the care agency.

The pain points your existing stack misses.
- Adult children worrying every night whether mum or dad fell and is lying on the kitchen floor
- Existing fall-pendants only work in the house, won't go in the garden, lose battery weekly
- Care visits scheduled twice a day — the 22-hour gaps in between are the danger window
- Family WhatsApp groups trying to coordinate who's checking on dad this weekend
- Medication missed because no-one was there to remind, then a missed dose hospitalises within 48h
- When something does go wrong, family find out hours later from the care agency, not in real time
Built specifically for elderly care tracker.
Man-down detection tuned for elderly falls
Accelerometer thresholds re-tuned for slower, lower-impact elderly falls that the standard lone-worker profile misses. Wrist, hip and pocket wear all supported.
Three buttons, huge text
Whole UI is three buttons per screen, 32-point body text, high contrast. Designed with arthritic hands and cataracts in mind, not 25-year-old developers.
Voice SOS hands-free
Wake phrase trained per user ("help help help" default). Works from any room, phone in pocket, lying on the floor unable to reach it.
Daily check-in
One tap of the giant green button each morning says "I'm OK today". Missed check-in by 9 AM escalates to the family + the care agency.
Medication reminders
Scheduled prompts with a tap-to-confirm. Missed dose by 30 min sends a gentle nudge to the family, by 90 min escalates to the carer.
Family-side companion app
Adult children see a single tile: green (last check-in OK), amber (something unusual), red (active alert). One-tap to call mum directly.
The platform underneath the Elder care pack.
Sector packs add the workflow; this is the operational layer every customer gets regardless of vertical — billing, comms, AI dispatch and trust signals.
Multi-channel SOS cascade
Push + SMS + WhatsApp + voice fan-out in parallel. AI re-ranks responders by distance + role + rationale before dispatch.
AI Virtual Watcher
Three Claude-powered flows: SOS narrative + mandatory ack, PPE/cert gap detection, proactive welfare pings.
Comms allowance + bundles
Monthly SMS / WhatsApp / voice quotas included. Overage auto-bills; pre-buy bundles for cheaper rates. SOS always sends.
Admin broadcasts + inbox
One-to-many alerts to any worker subset, ack-tracked for regulator evidence. Per-worker channel prefs respected.
Trust + verify panel
At-a-glance integrations status and a dry-run test SOS so you can prove the dispatch before betting a real shift on it.
Audit ledger (HMAC-signed)
Every action stamped to ID + timestamp + UUID. Regulator-ready PDF export with one click.
Stripe billing + Customer Portal
Per-active-worker pricing. 14-day trial, no card up-front. Self-serve plan changes and bundle top-ups.
REST + Webhook API
Push incidents into ServiceNow / RIDDOR-to-HR / SIEM (Splunk, Datadog, Elastic). GraphQL on Enterprise.
Your workers lose signal. Their safety net doesn't.
Out on site, in the cab, deep in a valley — elderly care tracker teams hit blackspots exactly where an incident is most likely. An SOS still counts with no signal: it's saved on the phone with its last location and fired automatically the moment coverage returns, timestamped for the audit ledger. And where the phone has Emergency SOS via satellite, Vygard points the worker straight into it. No £200 messenger to issue, charge or remember — it's the phone every worker already carries.
How off-grid coverage worksBlackspot-proof store-and-forward
SOS raised with no signal is saved with its timestamp and last GPS fix, then delivered the instant a bar returns — logged to the audit ledger, nothing lost.
Satellite, built into the phone
Newer iPhones and Androids include Emergency SOS via satellite. With no signal, Vygard surfaces it at the critical moment — no extra hardware, no second network.
Pair a communicator — optional
Truly remote crews can pair a Garmin inReach or similar. Optional — for most workers the phone is already the safety net.
