Hallo Buddy

Hallo Buddy is the app for family and carers of an older person with a Buddy at home. Buddy is a talking companion on a tablet: it talks, listens and helps, just by voice. With this app you set up Buddy from a distance and stay involved, even when you don't live nearby.

What you can do with Hallo Buddy
• See the day at a glance: appointments, reminders and whether Buddy is online
• Add or change appointments and reminders, for example a visit to the GP or taking medication. Buddy reads them out at the right time.
• Call and video call Buddy, straight from the app
• Take a photo that appears in the photo album on Buddy's screen right away
• Manage contacts: the people Buddy can call or text, and the emergency contacts
• Receive alerts, for example about a missed call or when Buddy is not on the charger
• Add your own instructions for Buddy to read out, such as how the washing machine works
• Work together with other family members and carers, each with their own account and permissions

Safe and private
• Lock the app with your fingerprint or face unlock
• Alerts that could contain sensitive information show only a neutral line on the lock screen
• You delete your account yourself, from the app

By invitation
You get an account when the owner of a Buddy invites you. No Buddy yet? Visit hallobuddy.nl.

Not a medical device
Hallo Buddy is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Reminders, including medication reminders, are set by family members or carers themselves; the app gives no medical advice. A reminder is a memory aid and does not replace care or supervision. Always consult a healthcare professional for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
