While we can joke about how our tech advances just give us the ability to watch cat videos and argue with strangers, our more connected world can also give us some important safety tools that can make a big change to our lives.
Enter Paws QuiVive, a safety check-in app that may be a boon if you or a loved one lives or works alone, and may encounter a life-threatening emergency.
A Custom Digital Wellness Check
The app works as a fully automated safety check. You can set a check via the app which will trigger at a time specified. If you’re safe and well, just respond to the app to confirm it, and you’re done until the next specified alert time.
On the other hand, if you are, for any reason, unable to respond, then after a set time the app will spring into action, and inform specified emergency contacts that it wasn’t able to confirm that you’re okay, so they can check on you. Depending on location, the app can even be set to inform the local police department about potential safety concerns.
The contacts themselves do not need the Paws QuiVive app, so it’s quite easy to set up.
Taking a trip, or otherwise away from your phone? There’s a Vacation Mode that should pause the alerts for a period of time… to avoid any unnecessary worry from your loved ones.
Get Help When You Need It
This all operates with no input from anyone else unless the emergency contact function is triggered. It can save the stress of others making continual wellness calls that you might miss and can save you, or allow you or someone else you care about independence with an additional safety net in case of an emergency.
If this sounds like it might make your life, or the lives of those around you easier, you can check out the Paws QuiVive on the App Store or Google Play. It has a 30-day free trial, and after that, you can choose the Standard Plan, which has ads, or the Ad-Free Plan, which does not.
