Tessa catches the moments most families miss — then it's your call.

11:47 PM - Bathroom

Possible fall.

Tessa detects a sharp impact and captures whether your parent calls for help—or the quiet that follows. Your family gets an urgent alert with when it happened and what Tessa noticed.

2:14 PM - Kitchen

Possible scam call in progress.

Tessa detects pressure patterns and unusual caller behavior — not specific words — and alerts your family so someone can check in. No one is listening to the conversation live.

3:02 AM - Front door

Door opened during the night.

Tessa detects an unusual door opening during the night and sends your family an alert with the timing so someone can confirm everything is okay.

Questions families ask before buying

Who gets an urgent alert?

Alerts go to family members you invite in the Tessa Companion app, so the people who can check in are notified quickly.

What does an alert look like?

You receive a clear notification with what Tessa noticed, when it happened, and enough context to decide whether to call or visit.

Is Tessa an emergency response service?

No. Tessa helps surface possible urgent events for family follow-up. It does not replace 911, medical alert systems, or professional monitoring.

Can I try Tessa without a long-term commitment?

Yes. Tessa is month-to-month at $99/month—no annual contract required. Your plan includes a 30-day free trial, and you can cancel anytime from your account settings. Contact support if you need help with cancellation, returns, or billing questions.

Is the Tessa Listener included in the $99/month plan?

Yes. Your plan includes one Tessa Listener at no extra hardware cost, along with the Tessa Companion app, free shipping, a 30-day free trial, and lifetime warranty.

Is Tessa always listening?

Tessa uses audio to identify meaningful events and patterns. It is not a live family feed, and event audio is shared only with permission.

Who needs to consent before setup?

The family organizer should have appropriate authority or consent to enable audio monitoring in the parent's home, such as power of attorney or informed consent from your parent.

What happens to my family's data?

Data is handled securely and removed within 30 days. See our privacy policy for full details on access, deletion, and controls.

Give your family a clear heads-up when it matters.
