For RWAs, senior-citizen cells, NGOs and senior homes: a daily check-in for every senior living alone
One account for your team, every senior added from a list, a WhatsApp message (or phone call) each morning in their language, and your coordinators told the same morning when someone does not answer.
Registers, visits and phone calls by hand
Resident welfare associations, police senior-citizen cells, NGOs and temples already keep lists of older people who live alone, and someone phones or visits them when there is time. A daily automated question does the asking for you, every morning, for every name on the list — and your team hears only about the people who did not answer.
What each senior receives
- One WhatsApp message each morning in their own language (21 languages), answered with one tap, or an automated phone call on any phone for those without WhatsApp.
- Your organisation’s name in every message (“Sector 21 RWA has asked us…”), so they know who is looking out for them.
- A reminder when there is no answer. “SOS” or “help” in their own language, at any time, alerts your coordinators at once.
- Nothing starts until they say yes on WhatsApp themselves, and they can stop at any time by replying STOP.
What your team receives
- One account for up to four coordinators. Seniors are added from a list in one go: name, WhatsApp number, language and time on each line.
- A list each morning of everyone, with those who have not answered or need someone at the top.
- An alert on WhatsApp or email when a senior does not answer after the reminder, or sends SOS. A volunteer, a beat officer or a neighbour can be a senior’s local contact, asked to check when your team cannot reach them.
What it is not
Not an emergency service and not a medical service: it never diagnoses, never changes medicines and never sends anyone on its own. In an emergency the local emergency number does that. It is the cheapest reliable way to know, every morning, that each person on your list is reachable.
Free 30-day pilot
Start with up to twenty seniors for thirty days, free: we set up your organisation’s account, you add the seniors from your list and tell each one what to expect, and after a month you decide whether it helped your team. After the pilot, organisations pay per senior per month, less than the family price, invoiced monthly.

Questions families ask
Do the seniors need a smartphone?
No. WhatsApp on any phone, or an automated daily phone call that works on any phone, even a landline, in the countries our calls reach (India included). There is no app and no password for them.
How do the seniors agree?
Your team explains it in person and confirms in the app that they agreed; each senior then gets a question on WhatsApp and must tap yes before the first check-in. A senior can reply STOP at any time.
Who sees the answers?
Only the people on your organisation’s account, and a local contact you named for a senior when that senior cannot be reached. Data is stored in India with phone numbers and notes encrypted, and it is never sold or used for advertising.
Our seniors speak different languages. Does it work?
Yes: 21 languages, including ten Indian ones. Each senior gets their own language, set on their line of the list.
