5. Key behavior controls
5.1 Trusted-contact calling
Only contacts explicitly approved by caregivers ring through. Unknown callers are blocked or sent to voicemail.
Caregivers can add or remove contacts at any time. This dramatically reduces scam and fraud exposure.
5.2 Outgoing-call controls
Outgoing calls can be limited to trusted contacts. Calls to unknown or high-risk numbers can be blocked.
Caregivers can allow exceptions for doctors, pharmacies, or community numbers.
5.3 Repeat Dialing protection
teleCalm detects when the loved one calls the same number repeatedly. Caregivers configure thresholds for how many calls
are allowed in a given time window. Excess calls are blocked and a reassuring message is played.
5.4 Quiet Hours
Caregivers set time windows where incoming, outgoing, or both types of calls are restricted. This prevents late-night calling
and protects caregiver sleep while reducing nighttime confusion.
5.5 Scam and spam blocking
For the Caregiver Plan, only trusted contacts ring through. Unknown callers are blocked or sent to voicemail.
For the Trust Plan, a three-digit challenge system blocks robocalls and learns trusted contacts over time.
5.6 911 handling models
- Normal 911: Calls go directly to local emergency services; caregivers may receive notifications.
- Priority Response (home users): teleCalm’s emergency-response partner answers first, assesses the situation, and escalates as appropriate.
