The vision
Tomorrow Albert Network will be a distributed safe-neighborhood network. Families with elderly loved ones in the same town or district can opt in reciprocally. Each family keeps full control of their data.
2027 pilot
Albert Network
From app to social infrastructure for elderly people in Europe
Today, when an elderly person lives alone and has an emergency, the only line of defense is often an emergency center or a distant relative who gets a delayed notification.
A real example
Maria, 84, lives alone in Mendrisio. Her daughter Anna is in Milan. Neighbor Marco consented to Class A alerts for Maria. One morning Maria misses her safe check: Anna is notified, and Marco — 30 meters away — can knock on the door. Response time: minutes instead of tens of minutes.
What the neighbor sees
Only the Class A alert, never continuous data. Zero-trust by design: no maps, no daily routine, no medical history.
Perché solo Albert
- Granular consent (already in Albert Life architecture)
- Radical transparency (annual Trust Report)
- Multi-language and multi-country from day one
- Neighbors see only the alert, not surveillance
Planned pilot: one municipality in Ticino, 2027. Not active yet — this page describes direction, not a feature available today.
