Wanting reassurance does not always mean wanting to watch somebody’s location.
A child, older relative or disabled adult may want more independence without feeling monitored. Their family may simply want to know there is another way to contact them or be contacted if help is needed.
MIPACE is a communication tool, not a tracker
The device does not show where somebody is. When an appropriate person taps it, it opens the public profile chosen by the account holder.
That profile might provide an emergency contact, a communication preference or another short piece of useful information.
It is a small distinction with a big emotional difference. Support can be available without somebody feeling followed.
