Brief overview
Care Go is a mobile safety application built to work with the Care Go Personal Alarm. It helps users summon help quickly during emergencies by notifying preselected contacts and sharing location information when the paired alarm is triggered.
Primary capabilities
- Bluetooth 5 item-finding to assist with locating small possessions such as keys or bags.
- Continuous location sharing for activities like evening runs or hiking, so trusted contacts can follow your route in real time.
- One-touch emergency alerts that dispatch critical notifications and live location updates to emergency contacts when the personal alarm is activated.
How emergency alerts work
When the paired personal alarm is pressed, the app immediately sends an emergency notification to the user’s chosen contacts. That alert includes live GPS coordinates so responders can locate the user as quickly as possible.
Location sharing for activities
The app offers a tracking mode designed for outings and exercise. While enabled, it shares the user’s route and current position with designated contacts so they can monitor progress and intervene if something seems wrong.
Finding misplaced items
Using Bluetooth 5, the system can help you track down smaller items paired to the app. This feature is useful for everyday losses like keys, wallets, or other frequently misplaced accessories.
Privacy and security measures
Care Go states that it does not retain users’ location histories. All user data is handled on a private instance hosted on Google Cloud with layered security controls to protect privacy and prevent unauthorized access.
Suggested alternative
Platifiy Plus (Free) is listed as a top alternative for users looking for a different or complementary safety/tracking solution.
