What is a check-in schedule?

A check-in schedule specifies the days and times when check-in are expected. It allows:

• VIPs to be reminded when check-ins are due, and
• contacts to be alerted if check-ins are missed.

The standard schedule is easily changed for regular outings or appointments, or temporarily varied with two taps. [read more="Read more" less="Read less"]

Each schedule should consider the specific requirements of the person being monitored.
One of several preset schedules can be selected or customised with up to 24 check-ins each day.

Examples:

1. Active people living independently may check-in between 5pm and 7pm each day.
2. Seniors or less active people may check-in at 9 or 10am after a morning shower, etc and 6 or 7pm each evening,
3. Seniors or less active people or those requiring regular medication may check-in each meal time or when medications are due.
4. Workers in rural or isolated locations may setup automatic region based check-ins for the normal places they frequent, and a region or time based check-in at home at the end of the day. If they have an accident this may identify the location and facilitate assistance rather than being left unattended overnight.
5. Seniors in self care may faint or fall and not be found for days. Their check-in schedule could be each 2 or 3 hours during the day, with some times varied, delayed or cleared to cater for regular appointments.
6. Anyone with a medical condition may have a periodic check-in and also wear the push button for use if a medical incident occurrs.
7. School or uni students may set region based check-ins for start and end of classes, and a region for leaving and returning home.
8. Anyone out and about may add a log entry at any time advising where they are going; eg to a friend, the library, the pool, the train station, etc, then do an ad-hoc check-in on arrival. Each message and check-in registers time and location for loved ones peace of mind without having to constantly message or call.
9. People on holidays or travelling may set safe regions and times they expect to be there. Alerts will be raised if they do not check-in or arrive when expected.

Friends, family and other contacts have peace of mind knowing that without constantly checking, they will be contacted if a loved one may require assistance.[/read]
