SPC Care is the app that lets you remotely look after and care for an elderly or dependent person who uses a compatible SPC device. From the app, you can see important info, check their location, or adjust the phone's settings, all nice and simple.
However, some features might vary depending on the connected model, as each device has different sensors and software versions. In the table below, you'll find a comparison of the main features available on each model.
