Why do you Need Keep Close Contact?
Imagine you are caring for an infirm relative or friend but are unable to be with them all the time, Keep Close Contact can help.
With the Keep Close Contact system you can leave an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch with the person you are caring for and from your iPad, iPhone or Macintosh you can initiate a Video Call at any time with them and they need to do nothing to answer the call. This is ideal if they have limited mobility, for example you can have a quick chat while you grab a coffee without causing them any hardship just like calling out to them from another room in the house if you were there.
In addition you can Send a Message and ask Keep Close Contact to let you know if they do not respond in a certain time, great for reminding them of medication, appointments or just to check if they are up.
For emergencies or just a chat there is also a Call Me button which they can use to call you at any time, if you are "sharing the caring" you can remotely change where this call goes to.
As an extra touch you can load up their favourite photos and when there are no messages being displayed they will appear in a slideshow, the Call Me button is always visible. You can change the pictures remotely at any time.
To help in keeping to a routine for medication etc. you can schedule messages to be sent at a certain time each day, day of the week or day in a month. These messages will be sent automatically and you can even ask Keep Close Contact to let you know if the messages are not responded to.
