FallGuard turns an Apple Watch into a quiet guardian — detecting falls and watching over vitals all day, then alerting family the moment something looks wrong. No extra hardware, no monthly fees, no complicated setup.
FallGuard now tracks the numbers that matter throughout the entire day — not just a single snapshot. Family can open the companion app any time and see how their loved one is really doing, with full-day history for every reading.
Uses Apple Watch's built-in accelerometer and gyroscope to detect hard falls — even when the app isn't open.
Family members get a notification within seconds of a fall. No call centers, no waiting on hold.
Each fall alert includes GPS coordinates so you know exactly where your loved one is.
Heart rate, blood oxygen and respiration tracked continuously, with full-day history.
Runs quietly in the background. The wearer never has to open the app or press a button.
No accounts to create. We don't store personal data on our servers — your family's privacy stays yours.
The latest release adds a layer of awareness around the people you care about — so you're never left guessing.
Know whether the watch is actually being worn, so monitoring gaps never go unnoticed.
Get a heads-up before a low battery on either device interrupts protection.
Check your loved one's last known location any time from the companion app.
A simple weekly summary of vitals and activity, delivered so you can see the bigger picture.
Pin a live status widget so reassurance is one glance away — no need to open the app.
A calm, focused experience tailored for both the wearer and the family caring for them.
The wearer installs FallGuard on their Apple Watch. It starts monitoring automatically in the background.
The watch displays a unique code. Text it to a son, daughter, or anyone who should be notified.
Family members install the companion app on their iPhone and enter the code. That's it.
If a fall is detected, family receives an instant push notification with the time and GPS location.
