Occupational therapists and physiotherapists often support clients who live alone and want to maintain their independence safely at home.
While wearable personal alarms and medical alert devices can be helpful in some situations, they are not suitable for everyone. Some clients prefer a simpler, less intrusive approach that fits naturally into their daily routine.
Solo Alert provides an alternative way to support independent living through simple check-in technology on a smartphone.

Why Solo Alert is different from wearable devices
Solo Alert is designed for people who want independence without relying on wearable emergency devices or continuous monitoring systems.
Instead, it works through routine check-ins on a smartphone. At times chosen by the user, they are prompted to confirm they are okay.
If they check in, nothing happens. If they miss a check-in, their trusted safety circle is automatically notified and prompted to check on them.
This creates a simple, predictable safety layer without adding complexity to daily life.
Designed to support independence in real-world care
Solo Alert is increasingly being used by individuals, families, and health professionals who want a simple way to support clients living alone.
It is particularly relevant for people who prefer not to wear a device, want minimal intervention in daily life, are transitioning from rehabilitation back to independent living, or require reassurance without constant monitoring.
Key principles of Solo Alert
– We focus on independence
– Clients are prompted to check in on their smartphone
– Their safety circle only hears from us if we don’t hear from them
– No monitoring, no tracking, no pressure — just a quiet safety net
