Your parent lives alone and you sometimes wonder whether everything is okay? Especially when there is a great distance between you or everyday life leaves little time together, a simple sign that everything is fine can be missing. Calling every day is exhausting in the long run - for both sides. And yet, you just want to know: Is everything alright?

Many people, especially older adults, turn to professional systems such as emergency call buttons or watches with built-in emergency call functions. These can be particularly useful for people with existing health conditions or mobility impairments. But what about the stage of life before that? What if the parent is still quite fit? Maybe they have only recently entered a well-deserved retirement? An expensive professional emergency call system may seem somewhat over the top in this situation. The “Is Grandpa Doing Okay?” use case from Liase is designed to fill that gap.

How It Works

With Liase, you can turn your old smartphone into a stationary device. You configure it so that it can be placed in your parent's home. The display stays active and shows useful information such as the time, date, and weather, along with a button. Your parent can press this button, for example, directly after getting up. If they fail to do so, you will be notified after a time you can configure. You can freely choose how the notification is delivered - by email, SMS, phone call, Telegram, or another method.

What Does It Do for Me?

More peace of mind in everyday life for both you and your parent. Liase does not replace a professional emergency call system, of course, but it makes it easy for you and your family to stay connected. It is definitely better than having nothing at all. And because you are only notified when something is wrong - because the button was not pressed - you are not flooded with unnecessary notifications in everyday life. And who knows, maybe you have more than one old smartphone sitting in a drawer, just like many other households? You can set it up through the same account and choose one of our other use cases.
