Check on elderly parents automatically through daily message activity

Watches a parent's messages for signs of distress and alerts family if there's no activity by late morning.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Any that apply are taken; a person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

Worrying about an elderly parent living alone means constantly wondering if they're okay without wanting to hover or call every hour. You want a gentle way to know they're active and safe, and a real alert if something seems wrong.

Who it fits

An adult child caring for an elderly parent who lives independently and wants peace of mind without being intrusive.

How it works

  1. Every message your parent sends is logged automatically
  2. AI checks each message for signs of distress, like mentions of feeling unwell
  3. If a concerning message is detected, you get an instant alert
  4. Each day, the system checks whether any activity was logged by late morning
  5. If there's still no activity a few hours later, you receive an emergency alert
What you get

Reassurance your parent is doing fine

You get an alert if your parent's messages show signs of distress, and another if there's no activity from them by late morning.

What you get

A daily activity log for your parent, plus instant alerts if something seems wrong.

What you need

A LINE account and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
