A daily "all normal" about your parent — from the phone already in their pocket.
We're building Miab after a fall in our own family went undiscovered for three days. Before we build the full product, we're running a small two-week pilot with a handful of families — and we'd like yours to be one of them.

Who we're looking for
- ✅ Your parent (or another relative) lives alone and has an iPhone
- ✅ You've had a recent scare — a fall, a hospital stay, a day of unanswered calls
- ✅ They've said no to a pendant or alarm — or you know they would
- ✅ You're happy to receive a short daily message for two weeks and tell us honestly what you think
Privacy, in plain English
What the app shares
- 👣 Step counts
- 🚶 Whether the phone is still or moving
- 🔋 Battery level
- 💡 Whether the screen has been used
What it never shares
- 🚫 No location — where they go stays on their phone
- 🚫 No microphone, no camera
- 🚫 No messages, calls, or contacts
- 🚫 No selling or sharing data with anyone
Your parent says yes personally before anything is collected — this only works with their blessing, and we've designed it to be easy to give. Data is stored in the EU (Amsterdam), tied to an anonymous device code rather than a name, and deleted on request at any time. When the pilot ends, so does the collection.
The honest bit
This is a pilot, not a finished product. We're testing one thing: whether an iPhone in a pocket or handbag sends a signal steady enough to genuinely reassure you. You'll be helping us find out — and your feedback will shape what Miab becomes.
At the end of the two weeks we'll ask whether the daily message was worth paying a few pounds a month for. There's no obligation, no card details, and no charge during the pilot — we just need honest answers.
