The Problem of Prolonged Inactivity

As an adult child of aging parents, you may constantly worry about their safety, especially when they're alone. The fear that your mother might faint or that your father could slowly collapse without anyone knowing keeps you on edge. The thought of them needing help but being unable to reach out is daunting.

What Activity Anomaly Does

The Activity Anomaly module from AlvoTriX is designed to detect prolonged stillness, tremor patterns, and night-wandering. It fills in the gaps that classic fall detectors often miss, such as when someone lowers themselves slowly to the floor. By monitoring these patterns, it acts as a bridge between potential risks and timely intervention.

Why a Phone Alone Isn't Enough

Relying solely on a phone or a smartwatch can be insufficient for monitoring elderly inactivity. While a phone might offer some alerts, it doesn't offer the comprehensive analysis of body signals that a wearable can provide. The AlvoTriX module enhances the capabilities of consumer wearables, ensuring that your loved ones are monitored more effectively.

Why Not Just Buy an Apple Watch?

While the Apple Watch offers fall detection, it is limited to those within the Apple ecosystem and can be costly. AlvoTriX, on the other hand, runs on the Galaxy Watch, Fitbit, Mi Band, Pixel Watch, Oura Ring, and more—devices your family likely already owns. This flexibility makes it a cost-effective solution without compromising functionality.

Setting Up Activity Anomaly in Under 10 Minutes

  1. Download the MyAlvoTriX app on your smartphone.
  2. Pair the app with your existing wearable device.
  3. Select the Activity Anomaly module and complete the setup wizard.
  4. Adjust sensitivity settings to match the wearer's lifestyle.
  5. Enable notifications for the caregiver dashboard.

Recommended Wearables for Activity Anomaly

For optimal performance with the Activity Anomaly module, consider using the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, Google Pixel Watch, Fitbit Charge, or Oura Ring. These models offer reliable performance and compatibility with the AlvoTriX system.

Pricing and Worry-Bundle Options

The Activity Anomaly module is priced at €7.90 per month or €76 per year. AlvoTriX also offers worry-bundles, which are priced below the sum of the individual modules and provide comprehensive coverage for related concerns.

The AlvoTriX Brand Promise

Founded by a parent of children too good for this wild world, AlvoTriX is committed to providing effective risk indicators that ensure the safety of your loved ones without the need for costly proprietary hardware.

Will It Work on My [Specific Wearable]?

If your device is on the supported list, such as Samsung Galaxy Watch or Fitbit, it will work. Check wearable compatibility for details.

How Is This Different from Apple Watch Features?
