Yes. By spreading the word via social media and through your neighbors, friends, and family, you will not only make the app better for your whole community, you will earn free months of usage just by referring people to Life Backup Plan.

As of November, 2024, the app only works in the United States. Because Canada has the same phone numbering system, the app may also work there, but it has not yet been tested. 

Taking the app international and multilingual is one of our foremost goals. As investors come in and funding becomes available, we will expand the Life Backup Plan app globally.

We plan to have the Life Backup Plan app available in at least the top 20 languages used worldwide, which covers 75% of the planet’s population. In November, 2024, the Life Backup Plan app is only available in Engiish. The first language we are likely to translate the app into is Spanish, so stay tuned for further developments on that. As the money becomes available for further development, adding additional languages is a top priority.

Yes. Since you are the owner of the medical data you have stored in the app, and you alone decide to whom and when that data can be shared, your medical data is 100% HIPPA compliant.

In November, 2024, when you enter medical information into the Life Backup Plan app, you can designate contacts of yours with whom you’re comfortable sharing that information. That person can then share your information with first responders or emergency room personnel.

In the future, we have conceived a methodology whereby the information could be shared directly with first responders or emergency room personnel, solely with your authorization and with your designation as to which pieces of data can be shared. We are working on implementing that idea into the app, and will do so as investors and additional funding becomes available.

There are two pathways in which a First Responder can enter your home without having to break your door down:

1. You store your home access instructions, i.e. the location of a key you have hidden outside your home or the code to your home security system, in the app and, if a first responder is called, Life Backup Plan, ONLY IF YOU GRANT PERMISSION, will share that information with the first responder.

2. You designate which, if any, of your contacts have your home access instructions, and they can open your home for you in the event of an emergency, or they can share those details with the first responder directly.

Either way, it is 100% your choice as to whether you store your home access instructions in the Life Backup Plan app, and with whom that information is shared, under what set of circumstances. You’re always in control of your data sharing.

Very. We require all employees to be thoroughly background checked and, as a company policy, currently only the CEO and Founder, Sandy Eulitt, is allowed to directly view the data. As a former college professor, I passed a rigorous background check. More importantly, I don’t want to spend any time in prison, so you can be rest assured that the app is hosted on a very secure platform.

Not to be flip, but I don’t want to go to jail. There is a very famous case of someone who ran a high flying tech startup and she violated several federal laws and was sentenced to many years in prison. I like my own bed, cats and control over my life very much and have taken great pains to ensure your data is safe, because I don’t want to go to prison.

Word of mouth advertising is your best friend. Get on Nextdoor, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit and Quora, plus your neighbors and friends, and tell them what a difference Life Backup Plan has made with your safety and peace of mind. Encourage them to sign up, too. Bonus round: when you refer people to Life Backup Plan, you will earn free months of service. The more people who use Life Backup Plan in your area, the better it makes the app for everyone involved.

Yes. Simply go into the Life Backup Plan app and choose the “Request Assistance” screen. From there, choose, “Assistive Skills” in the drop down combo bos, then “Ride to medical appointment” from the next drop down combo box.

The app will then match you with people in your area who are approved IHSS providers and who have signed up in the app as available for that service. You will have to contact them directly to see if they can help you out.

In November, 2024, the only way Life Backup Plan can help you if you need to be evacuated is through the “Request Assistance” feature in the app, whereby you can request a ride from someone.

In the future, we want to integrate Life Backup Plan with public safety systems, so that, if an evacuation is ordered in your area, and your medical data indicates that you are unable to evacuate yourself, Life Backup Plan, with your permission, can share that information with the public safety system, so it can send people to help you evacuate.

In November, 2024, you would need to make your own arrangements for pet care in your absence.

In the future, a feature is for you to be able to store pet information in the app, their name, veterinarian, food, any medical issues, favorite toys and bed, and be able to designate with whom the Life Backup Plan app should share that information, in the event you are unavailable. As investors come forward and funding is available, we will develop that feature. We hope to have it implemented in 2025.

In November, 2024, the short answer is, sort of. If you have a household inventory of all your belongings, you can designate that as one of your documents that you have in account setup. You can also designate which of your contacts has that information.

In a future version, you will be able to store the document directly in the Life Backup Plan app and it, at your sole discretion, can share that information with lawyers, accountants, family and friends as you designate when the time comes.

In November, 2024, the short answer is, sort of. If you have medical and/or legal documents like an Advanced Directive, Durable Healthcare Power of Attorney, or Do Not Resuscitate Order you can designate that in your account setup. You can also designate which of your contacts has that information. Then, if the situation arises, that information can be shared with doctors, lawyers or family members, so they can get it to whomever you’ve designated to make end of life decisions for you.

In a future version, you will be able to store those documents directly in the Life Backup Plan app and it, at your sole discretion, can share that information with lawyers, accountants, family and friends as you designate when the time comes.

Having a family member who has had to activate her life monitoring system a few times, Life Backup Plan recognizes the importance of these systems, especially for elderly or infirm people.

Unlike the available life monitoring systems, the Life Backup Plan requires no pendant you have to wear, no station, and no devices. It only requires your cell phone. Life Backup Plan is also fully automated, so is not dependent upon human labor, which adds to the cost. Labor is also dependent upon people being available and willing to be hired to do the job. Life Backup Plan saves you money by avoiding those issues and passes the savings onto you, with far more features than life monitoring systems offer.

There are medical billing codes for the type of app that Life Backup Plan is. As you can probably imagine, there are a LOT of health insurance companies and it is a lengthy process to get approval from each one. Getting insurance coverage for the Life Backup Plan app is something we are working on, but it has not yet been approved as of November, 2024.

Medicare does have insurancee codes for the type of app that Life Backup Plan is. As you can probably imagine, getting government approval for something is a very lengthy process. Getting Medicare coverage for the Life Backup Plan app is something we are working on, but it has not yet been approved.

That is something you will need to discuss and work out with the healthcare worker or first responder. In the future, we hope to have the Life Backup Plan app offered, and covered by, health insurance companies. In November, 2024, we do not yet have that set up, so you will need to work out payment directly with a healthcare worker or first responder if they require payment.
