Mom lives 500 miles away
Calls help you stay connected. FirstTell Home adds insight into the time between them.
FirstTell Home
Know when something changes.
FirstTell Home passively learns your parent’s normal overnight patterns and helps surface meaningful changes in breathing, resting heart rate, sleep, and movement without a camera, wearable, or button to press.
- No Camera
- No Wearable
- No Daily Charging
The space between calls
They say they’re fine. You still wonder.
You call Mom every night. Dad insists he’s doing great. But subtle changes can happen between conversations. FirstTell Home adds another layer of awareness while preserving their independence and privacy.
Dad just came home
A recent health scare can make every unanswered call feel heavier than it should.
One sibling carries the worry
Give the family a clearer, shared sense of how normal overnight patterns are changing.
They will not wear a device
No watch, pendant, charging routine, or button to remember.
A calmer kind of technology
Simple enough to install during a Sunday visit.
Most families should be able to install FirstTell themselves using guided setup videos and in-app instructions.

Guided setup walks you through each step.

Learning begins
FirstTell starts learning what normal looks like.
Setup preview
90 seconds from box to ready.
No wearable, charging, button press, or camera required.
Personal by design
It’s not about one number. It’s about changes from normal.
Resting Heart Rate
Tracks overnight resting heart rate trends and meaningful changes from personal baseline.
Respiratory Rate
Monitors normal overnight breathing patterns and changes over time.
Sleep
Provides insight into changes in sleep duration, presence, and overnight patterns.
Movement
Helps understand changes in normal overnight activity and movement patterns.
Important: FirstTell does not diagnose medical conditions. It helps identify changes from an individual’s normal patterns that may deserve attention.
Effortless by nature
Because the best technology is the technology they don’t have to remember.
FirstTell Home works quietly in the background, giving families insight without asking a parent to change their routine.

Made for real family life
Built for the moments families worry about most.
Living Alone
For aging parents who want to remain independent at home.
Long-Distance Families
For children who live hours or states away.
After a Health Scare
For families who want greater visibility after a hospitalization or medical event.
Aging in Place
For families looking for another layer of awareness without moving a parent into assisted living.
A familiar distance
Dad lives in Florida. His daughter lives in Chicago.
She calls every night.
He always says he’s fine.
But she still wonders what happens during the other 23 hours of the day.
FirstTell gives families another way to understand when normal patterns begin to change.
Privacy is the product
Peace of mind without a camera in the bedroom.
Designed to preserve dignity and independence. FirstTell Home observes patterns, not private moments.
No video
There is no camera.
No audio recording
Conversations stay private.
Nothing to wear
No watch or pendant.
Dignity preserved
Awareness without surveillance.

Meaningful change detected
Overnight respiratory pattern looks different from Dad’s normal.
A quieter kind of awareness
Useful signals. Not constant noise.
FirstTell is designed around changes from an individual’s personal baseline rather than generic thresholds. The goal is to help families focus on meaningful changes rather than overwhelming them with data.
