Traditional home health monitoring systems can be extremely cost prohibitive and difficult to use. Many families simply can’t afford dedicated hardware and professional installation just to keep an eye on aging parents or family members who need extra support.

Your smartphone already has everything needed for professional-grade monitoring: advanced sensors, cameras, and processing power that rivals expensive dedicated systems.

Why Families Are Making the Switch

Cost aside, smartphones offer something traditional systems can’t: flexibility. Your monitoring moves with your family member whether they’re at home, visiting relatives, or out running errands. And since everyone already knows how to use a phone, there’s no learning curve for complex new equipment.

KeepWell transforms your existing smartphone or tablet into a professional-grade monitoring system that delivers comprehensive safety monitoring at a fraction of the cost. 

What sets KeepWell apart is its ability to detect a wide range of unusual movements and behaviors that other systems may miss. The technology can identify tremors and shaking, irregular breathing patterns, jerking motions, sudden movements, and muscle spasms. It’s also sensitive enough to catch sleepwalking episodes, repetitive movements that might indicate distress, night terrors, restless activity, and even abnormal positioning during sleep. These capabilities make it invaluable for families monitoring elderly relatives with conditions like Parkinson’s, dementia, or sleep disorders, as well as parents keeping watch over children with special needs.

When KeepWell detects something concerning, its instant alert system sends notifications to multiple contacts you’ve designated. You can customize who gets alerted and set different sensitivity levels based on the time of day or specific family member needs. The live video feed feature gives you immediate visual access to assess what’s happening in real-time, so you can quickly assess the situation and take appropriate action.  

Your contacts receive alerts through standard messaging – no app downloads or new logins required. Everything stays private with local data storage and secure personal user accounts, meaning sensitive information never leaves the device unless you specifically choose to share it.

Real Peace of Mind

Adult children can monitor aging parents without being intrusive. Parents keep their independence while kids get alerts only when needed. For families with special needs members or busy schedules, KeepWell provides continuous monitoring that adapts to each person’s routine.

Professional-grade monitoring doesn’t require expensive hardware when the most powerful solution is already in your pocket. KeepWell proves that smart technology can make quality healthcare monitoring accessible to any family, regardless of budget.
