Elderly Safety Assistant

Client Safety Assistant helps caregivers stay connected with the people they support, using only the phones they already have.

The app has two simple roles: client and caregiver. A client can share their location, battery status and SOS alerts with trusted caregivers. A caregiver can
monitor one or more clients, switch between them, view their latest location, manage safe zones and coordinate care with notes, appointments and medication
entries.

Key features:

- Secure client-caregiver pairing with a short code or QR scan
- Background location sharing from the client phone, with permission
- Large SOS button for urgent help requests
- Battery and last-active status so caregivers know if a phone may be offline
- Safe zones with alerts when a client enters or leaves a configured area
- Shared notes for care updates
- Private notes visible only to the author
- Shared appointments and medication lists
- Multiple caregivers per client and multiple clients per caregiver
- Content-free push notifications for SOS and safe-zone events

Location sharing starts only after pairing is accepted. Clients and caregivers can remove a link at any time. Location, SOS-location and safe-zone data are end-
to-end encrypted between paired devices.

Client Safety Assistant is designed for care coordination and safety awareness. It does not replace emergency services, professional medical care or direct
supervision. In an emergency, contact local emergency services immediately.

What’s New
Initial release with secure pairing, background location sharing, SOS alerts, safe zones, battery status, shared notes, appointments and medications.

Background Location Permission Declaration
Client devices use background location so linked caregivers can see the client’s last known position and receive SOS or safe-zone alerts even when the phone is
locked or the app is closed. Location sharing starts only after the client grants permission and accepts pairing with a caregiver. Caregiver devices do not use
background location for caregiver tracking.

In-App Prominent Disclosure Text
Allow background location so your linked caregivers can see your last known location and receive SOS and safe-zone alerts when this phone is locked or the app
is closed. Your location is shared only with caregivers you approve.
