About

I am the creator and owner of TheLifeSigns service, based in the Amsterdam area in the Netherlands. After working for many years in the pharmaceutical industry (I am actually a pharmacist) I decided to do something very different. Reading a newspaper article about the growing number of singles being found in their homes days or weeks after something happened to them, inspired me to look for a solution for this issue. TheLifeSigns is a simple mail based solution that automatically notifies friends when a solo living individual becomes incapacitated. TheLifeSigns service was introduced in the Netherlands a couple of years ago, with very positive feedback. We are now working on expanding to the rest of the world.

TheLifeSigns - Living solo, this could save your life

TheLifeSigns service sends a daily email with a lifesign button to solo living persons. In case you are not able to press the button, TheLifeSigns automatically sends requests to your buddies to check in on you. This can be life saving.
