How the Apps Work
Simplify Senior Care with Our Mobile Apps
SimpliTend is a single release package that contains two smartphone apps: one for caregivers and one for seniors. To ensure safety, the senior app simplifies the senior's device while allowing the senior to manage their medication and activities. Furthermore, the apps link the senior's and caregiver's mobile devices, informing the caregiver of their loved ones' whereabouts and activities as they tend to their own children, job, or personal business.
​
The SimpliTend application is installed on both the senior's and caregiver's smartphones. The senior application keeps them safe by providing a simple user-friendly home screen with just 5 large buttons: Call, Chat, Apps, Direction, and SOS. The Direction and SOS buttons are pre-programmed to the senior's home address and emergency 911, respectively. The SOS button can also be configured to call a friend or family member. The SimpliTend app reduces the displayed preloaded apps to only seniors’ favorite applications*, reducing the clutter and bloatware on senior’s phone. Seniors can select up to 10 (can be set to 50) friend and family contacts to communicate. This feature* avoids unwanted calls, robocalls, and spam calls while allowing your aging loved one to safely use their smartphone and communicate with their friends and family.
The senior's smartphone and the caregiver app sync over the cloud, enabling the caregiver to receive activity alerts and prescription reminders via the senior's phone. The software will also let the caregiver know if your loved one has strayed too far from home or activated the emergency SOS number.

How to install
Step 1:
Senior initiates the app on his/her device and invites the caregiver
Your aging loved one must install the SimpliTend app on his or her smartphone, create an account, and provide caregiver's* contact information. SimpliTend will then send the caregiver a secure email with a time-based, one-time password.
​
Please keep in mind that the apps require both the senior and the caregiver to be registered.
(*) Only one caregiver can be selected
Step 2:
Caregiver installs the application on his/her device
After receiving the SimpliTend invitation email, the caregiver can install the app and create an account. The caregiver will then be asked to enter the one-time password and pay the subscription fee. Once completed, the caregiver's and senior's phones will be synced, allowing the caregiver to review his/her loved one's profile and receive notifications.
​
Please keep in mind that the apps require both the senior and the caregiver to be registered.
Our Story
Keep your loved ones at home
Caring for elder parents is a 24/7 job, and most family caregivers are working full-time, and some have family of their own to care for. I learned this when my mom was diagnosed with Parkinson disease 11 years ago and my sister and I had to care for her since my father was too old to help. At the time, my sister was working full-time, and I had just started my first startup company. Assisted living or Nursing home care was not the answer due to high cost, our unique cultural obligations, and the fact that my mother preferred to stay with family. Our story is not unique, most family caregivers have similar responsibilities. Being at work or at your children’s activities, you always worry if loved ones are safe, taking their medicine on time, are back home from their daily walk, or worse, they are being hassled by a sales call or a scam email.
​
We at SimpliTend understand the difficulties of caring for our loved ones, and our mobile applications are designed to keep caregivers informed while keeping our loved ones feeling independent and safe. Our goal is to keep the elderly with their families and delay the need for an assisted living or nursing home until there is a valid health reason.
Listen to what our community has to say.
The SimpliTend one-of-a-kind dual mobile application ensures seniors' safety and independence while providing family caregivers with peace of mind.
