      Yes, that's our standalone app. We also offer developers a SDK so an app can have the full functionality in a small SOS button with 3 lines of code.

Thanks for the feedback, I will work on the messaging. We are definitely trying to avoid the ambulance-chaser feel of other sites like LifeAlert.
