You call every day, but what happens when they don't answer? What if they fall and can't reach their phone? What if something goes wrong at 3 AM?

How Are You?! is an AI-powered elderly safety app that monitors your aging parent's daily routine and automatically alerts your family when something seems wrong — without requiring any interaction from your parent.

Unlike traditional medical alert systems, there is no button to press, no pendant to wear, no hardware to install. Just their Android phone, running silently.

HOW IT WORKS

Install the app on your parent's phone. During a 7-day learning phase, the AI observes their unique behavioral patterns — when they wake up, how active they are during the day, where they typically go, when they go to sleep. After learning, 24/7 monitoring begins.

The app detects:
- Unusual stillness: Your parent hasn't moved in hours — possible fall or medical emergency
- Abnormal sleep patterns: They're still in bed well past their usual wake-up time
- Location anomalies: They left their safe zones at an unusual time or haven't returned
- Phone silence: No activity on the device for an extended period
- Travel awareness: Automatic detection when your parent is away from home, with adjusted safety thresholds

When something unusual is detected, emergency alerts with GPS coordinates are sent directly to family members via email — so you know exactly where they are and can act fast.

HOW YOUR DATA IS HANDLED

All detailed data — GPS history, movement patterns, behavioral data — stays on your parent's phone and is never uploaded. For weekly safety analysis, only anonymous behavioral summaries (no names, no personal details) are sent over a secure encrypted connection to Google's Gemini AI. Your parent's personal information never leaves the device. Internet connection is needed for AI analysis and weekly recalibration.

WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE HOW ARE YOU?!

Affordable: $49 with first year included. After that, just $5/year keeps the AI safety analysis active. 14-day money-back guarantee. Traditional monitoring services charge $30-50/month ($360-600/year). Modern AI development tools let a small team build what used to require large departments. Everything runs on your parent's phone — no servers, no cloud storage, no call center. We pass those savings to you. Even without the subscription, core safety monitoring continues — you just won't get the weekly AI recalibration that adapts to changing routines.

No hardware required: No pendants, no base stations, no wristbands. Just their existing Android smartphone.

Minimum interaction: Your parent doesn't need to press buttons, answer check-in calls, or learn anything new. Install once — 24/7 monitoring runs quietly in the background. If a major Android update ever resets battery or auto-start settings (seldom event), the app detects the change and emails your family.

Personalized AI: Generic thresholds don't know YOUR parent. Our AI learns individual patterns and adapts over time. Weekly recalibration adjusts changes automatically.

DESIGNED FOR PEACE OF MIND

Built for families who worry about aging parents living alone — the goal is to reduce the daily anxiety without burdening your parent with intrusive monitoring or check-in calls.

Set it up on their phone during your next visit. Walk away knowing that if something goes wrong, you'll know about it.
