I m launching NearHalo on Product Hunt this Saturday, September 12. I built it after my dad suffered a stroke while living alone. I wanted a calmer way for families to stay informed and coordinate support without taking away the independence of the person they care about. NearHalo has two perspectives: one for the person choosing to share, and one for the family members or caregivers they authorize. It is a consumer family wellness and care coordination app. It is not a medical device, professional monitoring service, or substitute for emergency services. Before launch, I d value candid feedback: 1) What would an app like this need to explain before you would invite a family member? 2) Which sharing or control features would most affect your trust? 3) What part of setup would concern you most? NearHalo is already free on the U.S. App Store. If this problem is relevant to you, follow the Product Hunt page and tell me what feels clear, useful, confusing, or missing: https://www.producthunt.com/prod... Thank you, Joseph.
Hi Product Hunt — I’m Joseph Pagan, the founder of NearHalo.
NearHalo started with my dad. After he suffered a stroke while living alone, I wanted a better way for our family to stay connected without taking away his independence.
I built NearHalo as a family caregiving and wellness app with two perspectives: one for the person choosing to share, and one for the family members or caregivers they authorize. The goal is not to replace medical care or emergency services. It is to make everyday family awareness and coordination clearer while keeping choice and dignity visible.
NearHalo is currently free on the U.S. App Store, and I’m opening this founding period to learn from real families before deciding how the next premium capabilities should work.
I would especially value feedback on three questions:
1. Does the purpose of NearHalo make sense immediately?
2. What would make you feel comfortable inviting a family member?
3. Where does setup or the caregiver relationship feel unclear?
Thank you for taking a look. I’ll be here to answer questions and listen.
— Joseph
