AwakeMinder

AwakeMinder is for the people who pay overnight caregivers to stay awake, and for the caregivers who do. Through the night, the app sends a short check at random intervals — a one-line math problem. Answer it and the night's record says you were awake at that moment. Miss one, and AwakeMinder starts calling: first a supervisor by text, then a manager by phone, then whoever else the organization has listed. Anyone reached can acknowledge the alert and stop the chain. For the caregiver: • Checks arrive as full-screen alerts that break through Do Not Disturb, so a quiet phone at 3am is still a phone that gets through. • A wrong answer gives you a fresh problem, not a second guess at the last one. • Your shifts, and every check you answered, are on the Shifts tab. For the organization: • One grid per week: who is at which location on which night. • Check timing per caregiver, from every 20 minutes to every hour. • An escalation path per location, or one for the whole organization. • A record of every check and every alert, kept for as long as you need it. AwakeMinder is used by home care agencies, families who hire private caregivers, and anyone else responsible for a person who must be watched through the night. Organizations are set up and billed on the web at awakeminder.com; this app is for the people on shift. An account is required. Caregivers join by invitation from the organization that schedules them.
