I am not so much concerned with heartbeat, blood pressure, or anything like that. I just want the elderly to be able to call a friend or loved one easily and reliably send a text, in case of a fall, or maybe just for "groceries are needed" or "meds are needed" to the target phone number.

I think a model or OS build with similar functions as stated purpose would be cool, but I wouldn't advise PINE to market a device with that purpose so much as to make it easy for someone to develop feature functionality.

When you start building and designing emergency mitigation devices, you run into a whole mountain of regulation and liability in most developed nations, probably in most nations on the whole. Either one are likely to cost far more than PINE has available.

OTOH, a device with a reliable, stable and configurable "call home" feature and that has a few simple preconfigured dialogue options that one might configure on, say, a Pinephone or similar to text to a configurable recipient could be very helpful to some people.
