ABOUT STAYING ALIVE
Independent living.
Human connection.
Our purpose is to help people live better independently for longer, with simple routines and trusted people close at hand.
The problem we’re exploring
Living independently should not mean feeling disconnected. A familiar daily check-in can provide a small moment of contact and a clearer way for families to offer support.
We are developing the concept around ease of use, readable screens and practical interactions for people living alone and the people they trust.
Our development priorities
- Validate the main flows with users and trusted contacts.
- Define dependable alert acknowledgement and escalation.
- Build consent-led sharing and appropriate data protection.
- Evaluate supported fall detection and approved device integrations.
THE PARTNERSHIP CONCEPT
A shared focus on
living better, longer.
The proposed Manulife Staying Alive experience brings daily reassurance, family connection and practical care into one approachable product.
Our website and app demo help the team and potential partners review the experience before implementation. Partnership terms, pilot arrangements and market rollout remain subject to agreement.
