ERIC is a wellness and personal safety mobile app that offers a new avenue of care for people who live alone like seniors, people with chronic health conditions, or disabled individuals. ERIC checks in on you or your loved ones to confirm their safety.

ERIC integrates with Smart Home hubs like Alexa Echo & Google Nest for voice commands. Its simple interface is designed with seniors in mind. ERIC doesn't require additional proprietary hardware like Life Alert, and is easy to upgrade to work with new smart home technologies like Matter, and IFTTT.

At $3.99/mo. for basic and $9.99/mo. for a deluxe plan, ERIC is more affordable than other solutions that can cost as much as $90 a month.

I suffered 4 strokes just 2 weeks after the death of my wife. I wasn’t prepared to deal with an emergency, nor had a process in place to notify my family if I needed help. I swiftly recognized the necessity for a system to automatically notify them for assistance. This was crucial not only for my own well-being but also for the safety of my special needs son, Eric, after whom the app is named. Eric is unable to seek help or attend to himself, making such a notification system imperative.

Time, can make a world of difference. For me, help arrived in less than 20 minutes.  I recovered with no lasting effects.

When my dad suffered a major stroke, 26 hours passed before he was discovered. He passed away three weeks later.

Similarly, my neighbor Carol's family waited three days before calling 911 for a wellness check. Tragically, she passed away just two days later.

Popular home-based systems require the user to initiate a call for assistance. But what if you’re unable to press a button or speak?

This is where the ERIC app differs from them.
