Wellness-first • Wearable-free • Dignity-first
Provides regular scheduled contact between vulnerable people and their support network.
High-Acuity Alerting.
Calling Bear is a specialised welfare-monitoring utility designed to provide dignified independence for vulnerable adults living alone by facilitating regular scheduled contact with their support network and detecting "Failure-to-Respond" (FTR) events before they become catastrophic.
Simple, discreet, and intuitive - by calling the caree regularly, it can quietly monitor those who may not feel they need it, but you do.
The effectiveness of this monitoring is directly proportional to the check-in frequency selected by the support network. It therefore maintains regular contact, without stigma or complexity.

Closing the Safety Gap
Calling Bear operates on a "Failure-to-Respond" (FTR) protocol, ensuring that a lack of activity is never left to chance.
A simple "I'm OK" button, custom alerts, and anomaly detection keep loved ones informed while respecting independence and privacy.
Scheduled Welfare Checks
Users confirm their safety through non-intrusive, scheduled digital check-ins tailored to their daily routine.
Automated Monitoring
If a check-in is missed, the system identifies a "Failure-to-Respond" (FTR) event. This indicates a potential "Unresponsive User" scenario, alerting the Safety Group to a presumptive crisis so they can expedite a physical welfare check.
Immediate Escalation
The system utilises a pre-designated "Safety Group" of trusted caregivers and alerts will cascade down through this group. A successful intervention however relies completely on caregivers noting the "FTR" situation and taking appropriate action.
Critical Alerts
Responders receive an immediate, high-priority "Critical Alert" that bypasses 'Do Not Disturb' modes to initiate a physical welfare check.
