Safety Features

Stay Connected with a Safety Net

Quietly ping your buddy if you need support. If they don't respond, someone else will. Our "Check on Me" feature provides peace of mind and timely assistance when you need it most.

Quick SOS

Send instant alerts to your safety network when you need immediate help

Scheduled Check-ins

Set regular times for your buddy to confirm you're doing okay

Response Escalation

If your primary contact doesn't respond, alerts automatically escalate

How It Works

1

Set Up Your Safety Network

Invite trusted friends or family members to be part of your safety network. Assign primary and backup contacts.

2

Schedule Regular Check-ins

Create a schedule for automated check-ins. You'll receive a notification to confirm you're okay.

3

Alerts and Responses

If you don't respond to a check-in or trigger an alert, your primary contact is notified. If they don't respond within a set time, the alert escalates to backup contacts.

4

Customized Support

Define what information is shared during alerts and what actions your contacts should take when they receive notifications.

TA

"Last month I had a severe hypoglycemic episode at night. I missed my scheduled check-in, and my sister received an alert. She called immediately and was able to talk me through finding my glucose tablets. This feature literally saved my life."

Quick Encouragements

Grounded in Empathy.
Built for Africa.

While our goal is to support every person with diabetes worldwide, our primary focus is on diabetics in Africa who face significant challenges accessing essential resources and support systems.

Why Africa Needs This

Across many African regions, people with diabetes face critical challenges:

1

Limited mental health resources
With fewer than 1 mental health professional per 100,000 people in many African countries

2

Expensive monitoring tools
CGMs and other diabetes tech are often prohibitively expensive or unavailable

3

Isolation and stigma
Many people manage diabetes alone without adequate peer support networks

🌍

Africa-Focused

Designed with the unique challenges and needs of African communities in mind
