Near & Dear: Senior Support

Near & Dear helps you know your loved ones are okay — without another worried phone call. Every day, the people you love check in with a few simple taps: how they're feeling, whether they've eaten, if they've taken their medications, and how they're doing physically. You see it all in one place, and get notified right away if something needs your attention. BUILT FOR AGING PARENTS — AND ANYONE YOU CHECK ON Near & Dear was built with aging parents in mind: large, high-contrast buttons and a one-tap interface make it genuinely easy for someone who isn't tech-savvy. It works just as well for checking on a partner managing a chronic condition, an adult child living independently, or anyone else you care about from a distance. HOW IT WORKS • Your loved one (the "Star") completes short, guided check-ins throughout the day — mood, meals, medications, and vitals like blood pressure, blood sugar, and heart rate. • You (the "Companion") see their activity, get notified if something looks off, and can reach out with a tap. • Angel, a warm AI companion, keeps check-ins feeling personal instead of repetitive, and helps you notice patterns you might otherwise miss. • If your loved one ever needs help right away, a dedicated option lets them confirm an emergency and alert you immediately. DESIGNED TO BE ACTUALLY USABLE No tiny text, no cluttered screens, no complicated setup. Every button is built to be seen and tapped easily, because the person doing the daily check-ins is often the person technology is hardest for. YOUR PRIVACY COMES FIRST Personal information — check-ins, health readings, messages — stays on your own devices. Near & Dear never sends your loved one's name, health data, or messages to AI providers. NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR MEDICAL CARE Near & Dear is not a medical device and isn't intended to diagnose, treat, or monitor any medical condition. It's designed to help you stay connected and notice patterns, not to replace the judgment of a doctor, therapist, or other health professional, and not to replace emergency services. In a real emergency, always call 911. SUBSCRIPTION Near & Dear is free to download. A subscription unlocks full check-in and monitoring features for one Companion and one Star, with a free trial included.
