Watch over your loved ones with an old smartphone

That is the whole principle of sayseeshow.io: a phone that was gathering dust in a drawer watches over the living room, detects falls, faint spells and intrusions, then alerts the relatives you have chosen. No dedicated hardware to install, no subscription, and nothing new for the person concerned to learn.

The context

Stay at home for as long as possible, safely

This is exactly where sayseeshow.io comes in: an old smartphone turned into a security camera, placed in the living room, keeps the promise of dedicated alert devices without hardware to install or a subscription to pay for.

Keeping older people at home answers the wish of most senior citizens: growing older in familiar surroundings while preserving their independence and quality of life. This choice nevertheless means ensuring their safety day by day.

Preventing household accidents such as falls, fighting isolation and supporting carers and families are the concrete conditions of a successful stay at home. The application serves these three goals from a device already present in the house: it makes the home visible and audible to relatives, without asking anything of the person living there.

Key features

Several detection scenarios

Each scenario is configured on the old smartphone's screen and triggered by a detection or by a button. The screenshots below show the screens involved.

The Baby Phone action.

Video call without moving

The Baby Phone mode of sayseeshow.io triggers a video call that the person answers without moving or handling the device: you see her, you speak to her and you show her your face from your smartphone, to check that all is well and to reassure her.

Application screen: the red button to press to send an alert
The alert button.

Alert button

In case of faintness or danger, the person triggers an immediate alert so that relatives or professionals can intervene quickly.

Application screen: word detection, with a filter on the expected phrase
A keyword, for example "help me".

Voice alert detection

Simply saying a predefined keyword, for example "help me", is enough to call for assistance even if the phone is out of reach.

Application screen: detection of abnormal movement, with an adjustable fall threshold
Fall detection.

Abnormal movement

Automatic analysis of movement sends an alert in case of an accidental fall, to prevent the serious consequences of a household accident.

Application screen: the timer that triggers an alert once the set time has passed
The nap duration.

Nap duration

A timer triggers an alert if the rest lasts longer than planned, or if the person has been away too long without coming back to stop it. Perfect for good naps and good nights of sleep: the family is not far away and will be alerted if its intervention becomes necessary.
