Every watch needs a keeper.
Each morning, your mom or dad taps I'm OK on their watch. You see it on your phone.
If the tap doesn't come, or the watch goes quiet, your phone tells you. A fall does too. And if they ever need help, the HELP button is right there on the watch.
If you can't answer, your backup contact gets the alert too.

Short answers to what families ask when someone they love lives alone.
They don't have to. Lanturne runs on a regular Wear OS smartwatch, one they already have or one you buy them. A refurbished Galaxy watch starts at $89. There is no pendant and no base station. They check in once in the morning, and HELP is there if they need it.
Your phone repeats the alert, and it can break through Do Not Disturb. If you haven't answered after a few minutes, your backup contact gets it too. It keeps repeating for up to two hours, until one of you marks it handled.
Only you see their check-ins, battery and history. Your backup contact sees an alert only when you haven't answered it. We never sell data, and there are no ads.

Start with what they keep: their own watch and their own routine. Show them how to answer the check-in and where HELP is, then pick the check-in time together. More on that conversation.
Not at home. The watch uses Wi-Fi it already knows. Out and about, it needs its own mobile plan, the phone it was set up with nearby, or a phone's hotspot.
No. Alerts go to you and your backup contact. Every alert has a Call 911 button that opens your own phone's dialer.
No product can promise that. Lanturne depends on the watch being worn, charged and connected, and on your phone being able to receive alerts. Treat it as one layer of care, not the only one.
No, and it is not an emergency service. It tells you and your backup contact what the watch noticed.
