How Livindi compares

Most products help with one or two things. Livindi brings them together.

A medical alert button calls for help. A sensor system tells you about activity. A video tablet makes calling easy. A companion device keeps someone talking. Livindi is one senior monitoring system for elderly parents that does these things together, with one free app for the whole family.

5.0 from 69 customer reviews. Named Most Comprehensive in NCOA's 5 Best Monitoring Systems for Older Adults.

What Livindi does

Five things your family needs, in one system.

Monitor

Know if your parent is eating, sleeping and if activity patterns change. Door and motion sensors and AI learn their routine, and the app alerts you to changes. Add a smartwatch and bed sensor to measure vitals and sleep.

Care

The whole family can use the same free app and plan what to do together by video or chat. Includes medication reminders, and 2 concierge calls a month on Studio, Home and Max.

Communicate

Video call with captions in one tap, with auto-answer and a digital picture frame. Your parent has nothing new to learn.

Keep company

Add Liv, our AI companion, for companionship and entertainment at any hour. Liv has real conversations, answers their calls and sends you updates. $20/month, includes 10 hours of conversation a month.

Protect

Three levels of fall detection: press the wearable call button, say "Help Me", or AI designed to detect a fall. Livindi calls and texts each caregiver. Only people you invite can call them on the tablet.

Shows typical products in each category. Individual products vary. Checked November 2026.

Medical alert buttons: press a button to reach trained operators around the clock. Fall detection is usually about $10 more a month.
Cameras: show you a room and send motion alerts. Someone has to watch. You can talk through the camera.
Sensor systems: learn activity with sensors and alert family. Usually no calling or companion.
Companion devices: talk with your parent and give reminders. Family sees check-in summaries. Most aren't emergency services.
Video calling tablets and TV devices: make calling simple, often with auto-answer and photos. A few are adding AI companions.

One thing to know

Livindi reaches your family, not a call center. It doesn't have a 24/7 dispatch center. If you want trained operators around the clock, a professionally monitored medical alert service does that, and you can use one alongside Livindi.

How is Livindi different from a medical alert button?

A medical alert button helps only if someone presses it. Livindi also has sensors and AI that notice changes in your parent's daily routine and tell you. Help comes three ways: pressing the wearable call button, saying "Help Me", or AI designed to detect a fall. Livindi calls and texts family caregivers directly.

Does Livindi use cameras to monitor my parent?

No surveillance cameras. The only camera is the tablet's, for two-way video calls, which have an auto-answer option.

What does it cost?

Monitoring kits start at $379 plus $19/month service, with no contract. Liv adds $20/month. Free shipping on kits. 30-day returns. Kits use home WiFi. No WiFi there? Call us at (508) 416-6030.

So glad we got this for my Dad

Thank you. I have to tell you my dad called me 3 times with livindi after u set him up and I haven’t seen him smile so much as tonight since mom died 3 months ago. He kept saying this is amazing! When we were ending the call , I said ok I will talk to you tomorrow and he said oh no, I will see you tomorrow! I’m so glad we got this for him - we r hoping it alleviates his loneliness a little - my dad and mom were together 65 years! So nice to see a smile - thank you again!

Livindi will make it easier to stay in my own home

I would have been so relieved to have Livindi when I cared for my elderly mother. Now I am grateful that I can include Livindi in my plans for my future and stay in my own home. I will be able to get help for my needs and special assistance without disrupting my children’s lives.

Happy to know my parents are ok

This product is solid and impressive. I bought the large version for myself, mom, sister, and father in law that is 3000 miles away. It takes the worry away and my 92 year old Mom had no trouble using it. It was too difficult for her to use the phone. She has hearing problems and the transcription helps her better understand me when we talk on the video. Her vision isn’t great and is really bad with gadgets, but she loves using the tablet to talk with the family and get pictures. The larger screen was important and I used Wi-Fi and it was not difficult to connect.

Video and sound quality are great. Sending my mom photos is easy because she gets to see fresh photos of the family. It’s perfect for everyone to stay in touch and better than face time. It was really helpful because with COVID no one can travel to see my mother anymore.
Excellent motion and door sensors. We just stuck them to the walls, doors and refrigerator. I look in on Mom every day and check in on her when I see thing that are unusual like doors opening late at night or she is not drinking or eating.

My mom likes the picture gallery the most.

I like being able to see when my mother has passed by the motion detector and when people have come in or out of a door - it has helped me identify an issue with movement through the house. My mom likes the picture gallery the most. The video calls are okay too. For me (child), being able to see doors opening and movement is good.
