- Older adults living alone and their families
- Worth noticing

Field notes
The described alert flow assigns one press to routine requests, two to moderate concerns, and three or more presses—or a detected fall—to critical alerts. A public simulator lets visitors test press sequences, a fall scenario, location availability, and sample SMS output. For location, the page describes a four-stage fallback chain, including GPS, cell-tower estimates, and cached coordinates whose age is identified in the message. The hardware is described as in development.
