Check In

stay safe

Check In Virtually™ (CIV) delivers a technological monitoring and notification solution providing independence and peace of mind for adults living alone, or with small children and/or pets.

The App “checks in” on individuals (subscribers) by sending notifications that are seen on the subscriber’s phone. Subscribers select how often the app checks in on them (specific days of the week, and times of day), and select at least one emergency contact. Should a subscriber ever fail to acknowledge the notification to check in through the app, the app will ultimately notify the subscriber’s emergency contacts to check on the subscriber’s well-being.

Why Check In Virtually™ was Created

Check In Virtually™ was created because we each live alone with adopted rescue dogs. The idea for Check In Virtually™ was generated when we noticed there were weekends when we didn’t interact with other humans, other than transactional interactions with strangers. What if something untoward ever happened to us, who would know to check on our dogs? We started paying attention to news stories about people dying alone in their home, and the impact on the young children and pets who were left behind:

We began to brainstorm solutions that would allow the retention of independence, while not inconveniencing friends and loved ones. Finding no convenient solutions out there, we developed this App. The Check In Virtually™ App allows us to maintain our independence and gives us, and our friends and loved ones, peace of mind. We’re not just owners, we’re users of this App! With the Check In Virtually™ App, we know our dogs will always be taken care of, should anything ever happen to us. We welcome you to use our App to create a safety net for yourself, and any children and pets who live with you, without sacrificing the independence of living alone.
