We built Beside Care, an elder-care monitoring product, and we still run it
Most of what people ask us to build is a website. This one was not.
Beside Care started from a problem plenty of families recognize. Somebody puts a camera in an aging parent's house, and then nobody looks at it. A motion alert at 3am tells you something moved. It does not tell you whether Mom got up for a glass of water and went back to bed, or whether she has been up since midnight.
What it does
Beside Care connects to a family member's existing Ring account and turns the camera events into something a caregiver can actually read: the shape of a normal day, the quiet stretches that do not fit the usual pattern, and a notification when something looks worth knowing about. Short video clips are only retrieved when the user has explicitly turned that on.
Users do not sign up on our website. They start inside Ring, under Control Center and Integrations, choose Beside Care, and Ring sends them across.
Who it is for
Families who are the ones checking in. An adult child a few hours away, a sibling who does the calling, someone holding down a job while keeping an eye on a parent who is still living independently and would like to keep it that way.
Beside Care is not a medical device and it does not replace anybody. It answers a narrower question, and answers it every day: is today going the way most days go?
Why we point clients at this
Any agency can list a stack on a services page. It is more useful to point at something running on it.
Beside Care is ours, which means we never handed it off and walked away. We pay for its infrastructure, we get its alerts, and we are the ones awake when something breaks at an inconvenient hour. Being listed by Ring also meant building to somebody else's requirements and passing their review, which is a different exercise from shipping something that only has to satisfy us.
It is also the honest answer to a fair question. When a business asks whether we can build real software rather than another brochure site, this is what we show them.
If you have something to build
We take on custom software: internal tools, customer portals, APIs and integrations, data pipelines, and AI features. Every project starts with a paid discovery sprint that ends in a fixed price, so you know the number before the build begins. See our custom software services for how that works.
