No installer, no home hub, no equipment to buy or ship. Add Mom and/or Dad, invite the whole family free, and you’re watching over them. If they have an iPhone — and maybe an Apple Watch — you’re already done.

WellChime reads the wellbeing signals the phone in their pocket already collects, and their Apple Watch too if they have one. No cameras in the house. No pendant to wear. Nothing new for them to open or remember — the signals come from the device they already carry.

Not generic charts. WellChime learns each parent’s personal baseline over about two weeks, so what surfaces is “different for Mom” — not different from a 40-year-old. A resting heart rate creeping up, sleep slipping, activity down three days running: you see the change before it becomes a crisis.

A suspected hard fall is treated as an emergency. WellChime’s voice speaks up hands-free right away: “Are you okay?” Your parent just talks — no button to find, no phone to reach. Say “I’m okay” and it clears; say “I need help” and WellChime can notify invited family members. Delivery depends on device permissions, battery, network, and notification settings, so WellChime shows each alert’s status honestly instead of assuming it arrived.

One shared care feed everyone reads — alerts, check-ins, coverage changes, and notes. Ask Mom to check in with a tap. Track medications and adherence, and check a drug’s price at Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Drugs. Turn on optional location with safe-zone wander alerts for a parent who shouldn’t roam — on only if you choose, off anytime.

Email a polished, doctor-ready PDF summary of a parent’s signals and history to their physician in a single tap — so the next appointment starts with real data instead of guesswork.

Every other product assumes it’s working. WellChime proves it. One card shows exactly one of four honest states — Covered, Partial, Coverage gap, or Unknown — so you’re never lulled by a false “all clear.” If the watch is charging or the phone is off, you’ll know before it matters.
