A free tool for writing down a daily check-in everybody has agreed to: the signal, who is told, and what happens before an ambulance.
The thing that makes this work is that the person living alone chooses it, chooses who is told, and can change both. Write it down so everybody is agreeing to the same thing, and give a copy to whoever would arrive.
Small enough to be no trouble. One message, one tap, a curtain opened.
Three, because the one you were counting on will be on a plane.
A check from a neighbour first keeps the arrangement proportionate, which is what stops it feeling like surveillance.
Nothing you type here is sent anywhere. It is kept on this device only, so you can come back to it, and “Clear everything” removes it.
Made with the free tools at umuchi.comThat is the fear, stated plainly, and it is not really about health. Phoning more often does not fix it, because a phone call that is not answered is ambiguous — out, asleep, in the shower, or on the floor. What closes the gap is an arrangement everybody has agreed in advance: a signal that happens daily without a conversation, and a named person who is told if it does not.
The thing that makes this work is that the person living alone chooses it, chooses who is told, and can change both. An arrangement imposed on somebody is one they will quietly stop cooperating with. Keep the daily signal small enough to be no trouble — one tap, one message — and the response proportionate: a check from a neighbour before a call to an ambulance.
Agree who is first, second and third, and tell all three, because the one you were counting on will be on a plane. Write down where a key is, where the medicines are and who the clinician is, and give that to the person who would arrive.
Whatever you type here stays on this device. It is not sent to Umuchi, it is not stored on a server, and closing the tab discards it. That is a deliberate design choice rather than a promise about how carefully we would have handled it: health information that never leaves the browser cannot be lost by anybody, including us.
If you want to keep what you have written, print it or save the file — and if you would rather have it kept, backed up and shared with the people you choose, that is what an Umuchi account is for.
This page helps you organise information and arrive at an appointment prepared. It does not diagnose anything, it does not tell you what treatment you need, and it is not a substitute for a conversation with a clinician who knows you. If something is wrong, the right next step is a person with a licence, not a checklist.
In an emergency call your local emergency number — 911 in the US, 999 in the UK, 112 across the EU.
The version of this you fill in today is useful once. The version that is still there at the next appointment, already up to date, with your sister able to see it too, is useful every time. That is the difference an Umuchi account makes: the same information, kept, shared with the people you choose, and on your phone when somebody asks for it.
