ERIC is a personal safety and wellness mobile app creating a new standard of care for people who live independently—including seniors aging in place, solo agers, individuals with chronic health conditions, and those with disabilities. Through intelligent time-based check-in technology, ERIC provides an invisible safety net that delivers peace of mind to both users and their loved ones.

Unlike traditional emergency response systems that require you to press a button or call for help, ERIC uses scheduled safety check-ins that work even when you can't. The app creates personalized check-in events tailored to your daily routine. Miss a scheduled check-in, and ERIC automatically alerts your emergency contacts with your precise GPS location—ensuring help arrives even if you're unable to activate it yourself.

Key advantages of ERIC:

Works when you can't. Time-based alerts notify your family automatically if you miss a check-in—no buttons to push, no calls to make.

No additional hardware required. ERIC works with your existing smartphone—no pendants, no base stations, no installation.

Affordable peace of mind. At $12.99/month, ERIC costs significantly less than traditional medical alert systems that can run $50-$90 monthly.

Simple, senior-friendly design. An intuitive interface designed for easy use by all ages, from active adults to those managing health conditions.

GPS location sharing. During a potential emergency, your emergency contacts receive your precise location to coordinate a faster response.

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 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'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.

Over 15 million seniors live alone in the US. The US senior population (65+) is projected to nearly double from 48M to 88M by 2050. The number of seniors choosing to live at home alone is projected to reach 30 million in the US.
