Living Alone Safely: No More Long Lies.
Every year, millions of adults living alone suffer a “long lie”: a fall or an emergency that leaves them stranded, unable to call for help, for hours or days. A simple alert to someone could stop that suffering and potentially save their life. Our goal is to bring that to everyone, for free.
No wearables, no check-ins, no indignity.
Free for personal use.No credit card required.
The Constant Worry is Exhausting
When someone you love lives alone, the anxiety never really goes away. You worry about falls, strokes, you keep hearing how someone's mom was discovered lying on the floor for 2 days without help. When was the last time I checked on Dad? Is Mom not answering because she is in the shower, or because something terrible has happened?
And sure, there are the panic buttons, pendants, bracelets, but let's be honest: it's undignified, they don't want to wear them, and those expensive buttons stay on the bedside table.
The “Long Lie” Threat To Your Loved Ones Living Alone
For adults living alone, 1 in 5 home falls or emergencies result in a “Long Lie”: becoming stranded for hours or days, unable to move and call for help. Often, it causes more damage than the original emergency. A simple alert could help you save their life.
Turn Their Phone Into A Safety Net
CareTrigger turns the phone they already use into a life-saving safety net. The app runs quietly in the background, learning their personal usage habits. If they go inactive for an abnormally long time, you get an alert — and may save their life.
No devices, no indignity
Nothing to wear. No need to interact with the app. There is no reason not to use CareTrigger, and no way to forget it.
5 minutes and you are safe
Just download the app, pair with your loved one, and you are covered. No complex setups, no hardware.
Peace of mind at a glance
Worried if Mom is OK? Check her status in CareTrigger. Privacy first: you won’t know what she is doing, only that she is active.
Safety is free
CareTrigger’s core app functionality is free for personal use, period. We believe that safety should be free.
