This isn't really meant to save anyone's life. But it would let someone know to come pick up your corpse before it melts into the carpet and your cat starves.
This already basically exists.
yes you can also set this up in Gmail, but why you would have it contact emergency services is beyond me. if it's been that long, it's no longer an emergency!
For example, assisted living facilities require a check-in every day or else emergency services are dispatched.
Literally just a dead man's switch.
This is truly shitty, nice work.
Wake up early, forget to unset the alarm, and leave for an early start at the office.
The number of false calls it would generate is so high lol.
A mobile app to control it remotely could help. The app could even require access to your contact list for some reason.
It could call family or such rather than emergency services
You can request mail carriers to do this in a lot of places. Usually a service for elderly people who are living alone. If the mail carrier notices the mail isn't getting taken out of the box they will have a process to alert someone to check in.
It is a public service provided at no (low?) cost which merely formalizes an act of basic human decency. It is not gonna make anybody rich.
Good news cuz the cat will just eat your corpse, which will eliminate some of the melting and delay them starving
