FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

[UK] — ElderNova, an innovative smartphone app designed to simplify elderly care, has officially launched, promising family caregivers greater peace of mind through technology-driven monitoring and support.

Created by founder Steve Vangasse, ElderNova addresses the growing challenges faced by millions of families caring for elderly loved ones—particularly those living independently, coping with dementia, or experiencing reduced mobility.

A Personal Journey Inspires a Meaningful Solution

Like many innovations, ElderNova began with a deeply personal experience. Steve, the founder and visionary behind the app, experienced firsthand the struggles of caring for aging parents, including a mother affected by dementia.

"Caring for an elderly parent with dementia can be overwhelmingly stressful," Steve explains. "Every missed phone call or unanswered text can trigger anxiety—wondering if they’re safe, if they've fallen, or even just whether they've eaten today. I found myself constantly worrying, and I knew there had to be a better way."

This personal experience ignited Steve’s passion to develop ElderNova—a product uniquely positioned to ease caregivers’ anxieties and maintain dignity and independence for elderly loved ones.

What ElderNova Offers: Simplified, Unobtrusive Care

Understanding that caring for an elderly loved one involves a delicate balance between providing oversight and respecting autonomy, ElderNova offers a streamlined, accessible interface designed specifically for older adults.

The core features include:

  • Real-time Activity Monitoring: Providing caregivers with gentle, proactive alerts about unusual periods of inactivity or significant changes in their loved one's routine.
  • Medication and Appointment Reminders: Helping elderly users manage their daily schedules independently, while notifying caregivers when critical reminders go unanswered.
  • Simplified Communication: An intuitive phone interface that makes it effortless for elderly users to stay connected without frustration or confusion.
  • Emergency Alerts: Immediate notifications in cases of potential falls, prolonged inactivity, or other emergency situations—ensuring quick responses when needed.

"The goal isn't surveillance," Steve emphasizes. "It's about providing families with peace of mind. ElderNova helps caregivers know when something genuinely needs attention, reducing anxiety and promoting independence."

Addressing Real-Life Concerns of Family Caregivers

With an aging population and more families facing the complexities of dementia and chronic illness, the need for practical caregiving solutions has never been higher.

Research consistently highlights caregivers’ top concerns, including:

  • Falls and household accidents when no one else is around.
  • Missed medications and important health appointments.
  • Social isolation leading to declining mental health in their loved ones.
  • Feeling overwhelmed or burned out from constant worry.

ElderNova directly tackles these issues, offering tangible support to families who need it most. The app was thoughtfully designed to fit seamlessly into everyday life—providing crucial insights and actionable alerts without overwhelming caregivers or intruding on their loved one's independence.

Founder’s Vision: Empowering Families through Technology

"ElderNova isn't just another app," Steve explains. "It's a lifeline—designed by a caregiver, for caregivers. I built this because I needed it. After seeing my own family's challenges, I realized many others were quietly enduring the same struggles."

Steve's vision extends beyond a mere app: he aims to foster a supportive community around ElderNova. Through ongoing advice, practical tips, and heartfelt stories shared by caregivers, ElderNova aims to create a holistic support ecosystem, where technology meets empathy.

"Every family deserves peace of mind, dignity, and respect," says Steve. "My vision is for ElderNova to become an integral part of caregiving—not just as a tool, but as a trusted partner."

Early Testimonials: A Community Already Feeling the Difference

Even before its official launch, early adopters have praised ElderNova for its profound impact:

"ElderNova changed my family’s life," shared Jane, an early user caring for her mother with dementia. "Before this app, my anxiety was constant. Now, I get clear notifications when Mum needs my help, and I can relax knowing she's safe. It's honestly been transformative."

"I’ve tried other tech solutions, but ElderNova is different—it feels gentle, respectful, and truly designed with both my dad and me in mind," said Mark, whose father lives alone and manages multiple medications. "It feels good to finally have some breathing space."

Availability and Future Plans

ElderNova is now available for Android devices through the Google Play Store, with plans to expand its features and availability based on caregiver feedback.

"We're continually improving," says Steve. "The feedback we’ve received so far has been overwhelmingly positive, and it motivates us to push further. We plan to integrate additional features, such as wearable devices and expanded health tracking, in the near future."

Join the ElderNova Family

To celebrate its launch, ElderNova invites families and caregivers to try the app and experience firsthand the relief and reassurance it can provide.

"Ultimately, ElderNova is about family," Steve concludes. "If we can ease the burden on caregivers and improve the quality of life for elderly loved ones, we'll have achieved our goal."
