Eliminating stress and worry, even for those with little or no experience with technology.
Explore the Features
Choose from any of the features below and simply enable or disable them as needed.
Video Call
Check-in using Claris Companion’s video calling. Unlike other video calling applications, Claris Companion is private, secure, and incredibly easy to use. Individuals using Claris Companion can connect to staff and family who can use any device including laptops, Android smartphones or tablets, and iPhones or iPads.
Because Claris Companion is always on, individuals will always be alerted to an incoming call and only need to touch the large “Answer” button, or they can video call to family by selecting from a list of selected contacts.
Using Claris Companion’s secure Auto-Answer feature, you can see tablet users at any time and make sure they’re okay.
Also integrated with Zoom, Webex, Meet, Teams, and GoToMeeting.

Send email, text, app, or web console messages directly to Claris Companion (a private email address and text message number is provided by us). Regardless of how staff, family or friends send a message, it appears full screen and in an easy-to-read format so tablet users are never confused. They can also reply or write new messages using the on-screen keyboard, voice-to-text recognition, or external bluetooth keyboard (not included).
Video Album

New videos are automatically displayed on the screen and are stored in their personal video album to enjoy at any time.

Alerts
Claris Companion automatically generates alerts if anything is out of the ordinary such as missed medications, treatments, or check-ins. Alerts can be sent as emails, text messages or mobile phone app notifications, and tailored for specific staff or family to follow-up before an adverse event occurs. Alerts are easy way to keep track of individuals and make sure that they’re okay.
Call Me
With a touch of the “Call Me” button an email or text message can be sent to a staff or family member asking them to call when they get a chance. As a result, independent individuals can reach out to staff, family, and friends with the press of a button.
Wellness Survey
Daily wellness surveys can be scheduled that kindly ask the user how they are feeling. With the touch of a button, wellness trends can be established over time and alerts can be sent to family and caregivers.
Check In
Throughout the day, individuals can press the “check-in” button to send an email or text message to staff or family letting them know they’re okay. If the check-in button is not pressed, after a configurable amount of time an alert will be generated and sent.
