CheckinBee will check in with your loved one each and every day via text message. If a check-in is missed, their designated care circle will be automatically notified to check on them. Two week free trial and then $14/m.
Hello Product Hunt!
I'm Adam, the solo founder of CheckinBee. Often life gets in the way of keeping in touch with our aging parents as much as we'd like. I know this is true for me. Having moved to the US from England, visiting my mother a few times a week soon became having a video call once a month.
Like many elderly people living alone, my mother is fiercely independent and doesn’t want her family to be worrying about her. Although in her mid-80s, she is healthy, goes swimming twice a week, lives in her own home and loves life.
I built CheckinBee to ensure that our family had peace of mind that our mother was ok every day, especially when it could sometimes be a week between one of our family speaking with her.
I made sure that the app could communicate with a wide circle of family and friends, so that if my mother ever missed a check-in, her friends and family living locally could check in to ensure everything was fine while also keeping me informed. CheckinBee hasn’t replaced regular calls, but has simply supplemented the communication and care for my fiercely independent mother.
I'm very excited to launch CheckinBee into the world and provide this peace of mind to others.
Love this idea - with parents who are almost 80, I'd definitely use it. My one problem for me (and curious if this is the case for anyone else) - my parents don't know how to text (sad, I know) and generally have no interest in learning how to at this point.
Is this an edge case or sizable segment of aging population?
Your app's approach is appealing to the seniors who value their independence. Congrats!
Congrats on the launch! This new platform looks like a great way to connect with loved ones and ensure their well-being. The daily check-in feature is a thoughtful touch. Can't wait to see how it helps families stay connected.
CheckinBee is great for keeping in touch with elderly loved ones. Well done, Adam!
I was just thinking about this after reading the story where a hike got lost and was rescued after 10 days in California. This happens a lot and sometimes these rescue story ends up in a very dark place.
I thought about what would be a good solution, because you need to set the right level of check-ins. A few ideas:
- auto-detect environment and only sends check-in if the user enters a remote area
- pop-ups a notification and asks the users how many days will they be offline (for example, camping in a remote area).
- thoughts on leveraging satellite texting?
Thank you for building this great product @adam_lack!
Congrats on the launch! Daily text check-ins to help loved ones stay independent but connected is such a thoughtful idea. Perfect for ensuring peace of mind while respecting independence.
CheckinBee provides a great way to ensure daily check-ins for loved ones, offering peace of mind for families while maintaining independence.
This is a really thoughtful idea, congrats on the launch! Might wanna consider expanding to voice in the future as well to account for some who might have trouble typing 👍
The automated daily text check-ins feature is a fantastic way to ensure loved ones are safe while maintaining their independence.
The automatic notifications to the care circle when a check-in is missed is a game-changer for safety and peace of mind. Definitely worth a try for anyone seeking a reliable way to stay connected and care for their family members. Great job!
Congrats to the CheckinBee team! Perfect for maintaining independence while staying connected and secure. Highly recommend trying out their two-week free trial!
This is a cool idea! Just curious doesn’t a text message feel better if it is more authentic though, I feel like AI slightly reduces that. Congrats on the launch.
This is so cool! Love the idea and the concept. A small suggestion if I may: I think this would be super useful for people who have family members or friends who do solo backpacking, so to eliminate the need for a singular cellphone number (cause they change numbers often depending on the country), would be nice if the messages can be done through WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.
Congrats! Love it.
This is gonna help people check on their loved ones more regularly. Not trying to sound dramatic but I believe CheckinBee is gonna a great relief to those who can't be beside their dear ones all the time.
CheckinBee is such a thoughtful solution.
Questions:
- How do you ensure the privacy and security of users' information?
- Can family members customize the check-in schedule based on their needs?
Congrats on the launch, Adam!
