AreYouThere

Inspiration

Asking the simplest questions sometimes helps: Are you there? Especially during corona-times.

What it does

Imagine a grandmother that cannot receive any visits. Or image a young mother in a violent household or someone being quarantined due to covid-19. We call these people Wards.

We built a service that allows Guardians to look after people, who need to be looked after every now and then. :)

Our service enables Guardians to maintain Bonds to their Wards by sending out reminders to the Wards, asking them for regular feedback. If the feedback is not coming within a defined interval the Guardian receives a warning - it's up to them how to react: maybe they make a phone call, plan a visit or alert the authorities.

AreYouThere is a low-threshold service and can be used to collect additional information about the Wards - such as "current state" or requests for assistance - if the respective person wants to provide further input.

It was our goal to provide a service that ...

is extremely easy to use and also allows some degree of discretion, which both can be good for certain groups of Wards
can be self-deployed by Guardians - which can be friends, family members, social societies, ...
can help preserving mental and physical health during all sorts of crisises - especially during lock-down situation during the on-going corona-crisis.
