EchoCare Connect
A daily phone call for your parent

A friendly call every day that brings Mom or Dad closer to family.

EchoCare Connect calls your parent once a day on the phone they already have. The call starts with the photos and news your family shared. Afterward, your family group chat gets a short, kind update. When one of you is free, it can connect them to you right then.

No app for your parent. No new app for you. Your family keeps using the iMessage group it already has.

How it works

What your family shares comes back as real conversations.

Lots of products give your parent an AI to talk to. EchoCare Connect is built to get more of your family on the phone with them.

  1. You post like you already do

    Photos, news and plans in the family iMessage group. EchoCare Connect is a member of that group and quietly reads along.

  2. The call opens with it

    At the set time, your parent gets a warm 5–7 minute call: the photo from yesterday, a mood check-in, their reminders and a short spoken game.

  3. A highlight comes back

    One kind sentence lands in the group after the call. It never quotes your parent, but it gives you something to call them about.

  4. A live hand-off

    If someone has posted that they're free, the call can connect them.

    "Mike is free right now. Want me to connect you?"

What we measure: phone calls between your parent and your family each week that started with EchoCare Connect.

A day, start to finish

If your parent doesn't pick up, you'll know by lunchtime.

The call schedule is set by your family. Here's a day with a 10:00 AM call that goes unanswered.

Picture cards

About an hour before something on the calendar, your parent gets a large-type picture card on their phone.

    Third tryOne more try at 90 minutes, with a short voicemail this time.
  4. Right after

  6. During a call
    If something sounds urgentIf your parent mentions a fall or chest pain, the family is told right away, by message and by phone.
For your parent

Just a phone call they look forward to.

  • A call at the same time each day on their own phone, with no app, tablet or smart speaker.
  • Conversation about the grandkids, the trip, the new puppy: whatever the family shared.
  • Reminders for birthdays, appointments and club days, plus picture cards before events.
  • A way to say "don't call me tomorrow," and it listens.
For the family

Your group chat stays the only place you check.

  • Set it up by chatting in the group. The first person to answer becomes the admin.
  • Change the call time, contacts or pause calls with a plain message. Only the admin can change settings.
  • A short highlight after each call, so everyone knows how the day is going.
  • A heads-up and a phone call when calls are missed or something sounds wrong.
Trust

Built for your parent's dignity first.

They agree first

Your parent consents before the first call, not just the family member who signs up.

Always says it's an AI

Every call makes that clear. It never pretends to be a person.

No quotes, ever

Highlights are about the call in general. Your parent's words stay between them and the call.

Transcripts deleted in 7 days

Call transcripts are kept for a week, then deleted.

Not medical

No health records, no diagnoses, no medical advice.

One admin

One family member controls settings, so nothing changes by accident.

EchoCare Connect is not an emergency service.

It never calls 911 or any emergency number. When something sounds urgent, it tells your family right away so a person can decide what to do. If your parent needs emergency monitoring, use a service built for that.

Pricing

We're starting with 10–20 founding families. You get a lower price for good, and we get your honest feedback.

Questions

Good to know before you start.

What kind of phone does my parent need?

Any phone that takes calls works for the daily call. Picture cards need a phone that can receive images, like a smartphone.

Does our family chat have to be iMessage?

Yes, for now. EchoCare Connect joins an iMessage group. We can't join WhatsApp groups yet.

Will this replace our calls?

No, and it's designed not to. Every call is meant to give your family a reason to call too, and live connect puts your parent through to whoever is free.

What if my parent falls or is in danger?

If they mention something urgent on a call, like a fall or chest pain, EchoCare Connect messages the family group and phones your primary contact, then your backup. It does not call 911 and is not an emergency or medical alert service.

What languages does it speak?

English only right now. We're working on other languages, starting with Albanian.

Can my parent stop the calls?

Yes. If they say "don't call me anymore," calls pause and the family admin is told.

Is this live yet?

We're onboarding our first founding families now, and we set up each family by hand. We'll be straightforward with you about what's ready and what isn't.
