The Heartfelt Reason Behind Our Phone-Based Check-In Service

As the founder of AssureOkay, I want to share a deeply personal story that inspired the creation of our phone-based check-in service. My wife, a project manager in the shipbuilding industry, often travels for extended periods during ship deliveries. While she is away, I grapple with a nagging fear: "What if something happens to me? How long would it take for someone to realize my child needs help?" This question haunts me, especially when I reflect on heartbreaking cases like that of two-year-old Bronson Battersby in Skegness, UK. He was found dead alongside his father, who had suffered a heart attack, illustrating how swiftly tragedy can strike and how easily someone can be overlooked.

The Harsh Reality of Living Alone

In 2022, reports indicated that between 8,000 and 9,000 people in the UK died alone, many not discovered for at least a week. These statistics reveal a harsh reality that no one wants to confront. The need for safety measures is increasingly urgent, especially for individuals living alone, including seniors and those with chronic health conditions. The fear of isolation can be overwhelming, highlighting the necessity for practical solutions that ensure safety and peace of mind.

Bridging the Technology Gap

While smartphones have become ubiquitous, many elderly individuals and those less tech-savvy do not own or use them. This gap in technology can leave them vulnerable and without reliable means to check in with loved ones. Recognizing this, we set out to create a solution that works with any phone, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their technological proficiency, can benefit from daily safety check-ins.

Introducing AI Phone Check-ins

This realization fueled our mission to develop AI phone check-ins for people without smartphones. Our automated phone calls function smoothly with any type of phone, making them accessible to everyone. Imagine a system where, every day, a friendly voice checks in on you, asking simple questions about your well-being. If you don't pick up or respond, our service automatically notifies up to five trusted emergency contacts via email or SMS. This provides not only a safety net for individuals living alone but also peace of mind for their families.

Enhancing Safety Beyond Check-Ins

In addition to our phone check-ins, AssureOkay offers features that further enhance safety and support. For instance, our Digital Will allows users to store important documents securely, releasing them to loved ones if check-ins are missed. This provides an extra layer of security, especially for those wanting to prepare for the unexpected.

Moreover, our Pet Protection feature automatically sends emergency care instructions to contacts if a pet owner fails to check in. This is essential for pet owners living alone, ensuring their furry companions receive care if something goes wrong. Our wellness tracking, which includes mood tracking with AI-generated insights, helps users recognize patterns in their emotional health, further enhancing their overall well-being.
