Here are just a few reasons why you should use the ERIC app!
ERIC gives your loved ones the power to call for help even if they’re physically unable to do so.
ERIC’s intuitive interface is simple to operate and quick to set up. If you can set an alarm clock, you can setup ERIC. After initial setup, it only requires a tap to operate.
ERIC isn't limited to operating at or near your home like most other solutions. It goes with you on the trail, out-of-town, or wherever.
At-home personal safety solutions can cost as much as $89.85 a month. ERIC is a very affordable alternative to the high prices and limited functionality currently on the market.
ERIC doesn’t require active interaction with the user to call for help. If you do not respond to an event, it signals your emergency contacts.
Use voice commands through you Smart Home hub.
By regularly prompting the user to confirm their safety with just a tap, ERIC checks in on you or your loved ones to confirm their safety.
First, download the free app onto your or your loved one’s device, available on iOS & Android devices.
Input emergency contact information so ERIC can notify them via text message. Then, schedule recurring or one-time events that’ll automatically check in.
Once an event occurs, confirm your safety by simply tapping a button. (If you’re unable to mark yourself as safe due to an emergency, ERIC will automatically notify your emergency contact.
ERIC's simple and straightforward design makes it easy for anyone to use.
When ERIC founder Keith T. suffered three mini-strokes after the death of his wife, he discovered he wasn’t well-prepared to deal with an emergency or notify his loved ones if he needed help. What’s more, he realized that if something were to happen to him, his special needs son Eric (the app's namesake), would be trapped at home, with no way to get help until it occurred to family members that they hadn’t seen or heard from him. Keith realized that he could benefit from a solution that could regularly check in on him and notify someone if he was unable to confirm his safety. Frustrated by expensive home-based solutions that were limited in function, he created ERIC. Keith didn’t create ERIC just with himself in mind. He made it for people he knew and loved – especially his father, who lived alone in another state and suffered from multiple health conditions.
Sadly, his father never got to use the app. He suffered a major stroke while the app was under development and passed away just a few weeks later. Upon learning that 26 hours had passed from the time his father was in communication with someone to the time his brother found him at his home after the stroke, it renewed Keith’s conviction. When it comes to emergencies, time can play a critical role – if Keith’s father had received medical care sooner, the outcome could have been different. By improving response times, eliminating the need to actively call for help, ERIC can help protect you or someone you love. ERIC was created to protect loved ones everywhere and keep them safe.
