Print all six guides

Six pages in large print, one for each part of Corasom. Leave them by the tablet, phone or laptop they use.

Each guide prints on one A4 or US Letter page.

Your Corasom screen

Corasom is yours. It has the news, puzzles and your reminders for the day. Each time you use it, your family can see you’re up and about.

  • I’m OK. Tap it to let your family know you’re fine.
  • Today’s News. Five short stories each morning, in plain words.
  • Brain Games. Puzzles and quizzes, including sudoku and word search. Nothing is timed, and a wrong answer doesn’t matter.
  • Today’s Routine. Your list for the day, in time order.
  • Journal. Choose how you feel, and add a few words if you like. Your family sees it.
  • Messages and Need Help. To keep in touch, or to ask for help urgently.

Your privacy: what your family sees

You’re in charge of what you share.

What your family sees

What you do in Corasom, in plain words: when you check in, what you tick off, the puzzles you finish, and your journal.

What they never see

Where you are. Corasom has no maps and no location tracking.

Taking a break

You can pause sharing whenever you like. Your family is told sharing is paused, so they don’t worry. Only you can switch it back on.

Your privacy screen

Your Privacy & sharing screen shows what your family can see. To pause, tap Pause sharing. To start again, tap Turn sharing back on. You can also ask us for a copy of everything we hold about you.

Leaving

You agreed to connect, and you can pause sharing whenever you like. To leave Corasom altogether, open Account & Settings and choose Delete account. Everything is erased.

When you need help

In an emergency, ring 999 first. Corasom can’t ring anyone for you.

To ask your family for help:

  1. Tap the red Need Help button.
  2. Tap Get help. If you pressed Need Help by mistake, just go back. Nothing is sent.
  3. Your screen says when your family has been told.
  4. Your screen also shows the number to ring if you need it.

Your family sees your request the next time they open Corasom. For now, it doesn’t ring their phones. If it’s urgent, ring them too.

If no one answers, don’t wait. Ring 999.
