Missed Check-ins
The Reminder and Alert Process
If you do not check in by your scheduled time, SoloWise will immediately send to you a message, reminding you to check-in and asking if you're OK.
Those reminder messages are sent by email and in-app alert by default. You can also opt in to text message and push notification reminders at no extra fee.
When using the SoloWise text messaging system, you can reply by using a few pre-defined responses:
- SAFE will set your status as checked-in and no further messages will occur until your next scheduled check-in time.
- LATE will begin a short series of additional text prompts which will allow you to extend your check-in time. SoloWise will remind you again at the new time. This response applies to Flex Timers only. Daily Timers cannot be extended.
- SOS will immediately trigger SoloWise to send alert messages to your emergency contacts to notify them of your emergency.
You can send any of those pre-defined text messages at any time during a scheduled check-in period. You do not need to wait for that initial reminder message from SoloWise.
If you do not reply at all by the time your pre-defined "alarm delay" has expired, then SoloWise will proceed to send the alert messages to your emergency contacts.
The messages to your emergency contacts are sent via email by default. Your contacts may also opt in to receiving text messages and automated-voice calls. The email will contain a link to a webpage that will report all of the information you recorded for your check-in.
The "alarm delay" is a grace period between when SoloWise sends reminder messages to you and when it sends the alert messages to your contacts. This period can give you some time to check in after you get your reminder. The alarm delay is optional. The delay is set to zero by default, so the alerts are sent to your contacts right away.

Responsibility & Limitations
SoloWise is designed to reduce uncertainty and response time when something goes wrong, but it cannot eliminate risk, replace personal judgement, or guarantee outcomes. It depends on proper setup, realistic check-in schedules, and reliable contact information. Like any system, it is only effective when used thoughtfully and as intended.
SoloWise does not replace emergency services, medical care, or common sense. It works by escalating missed expectations to the right people, who can then decide how to respond. Conditions such as connectivity, device availability, and human response time all play a role. By acknowledging these limits openly, SoloWise aims to be a dependable layer of support — not a promise of safety under all circumstances.
