HachikoCare checks in on seniors living alone every day, with a friendly phone call. No app. No device. No smartphone required. Just a phone that rings.
Families are stretched thin and caregiving is fragmented, reactive, and expensive. Meanwhile, most existing tools require a smartphone, an app, or a connected device: technology most seniors 75+ don't own or can't reliably use. A real solution has to meet seniors where they already are: on the phone.
HachikoCare is an AI-powered daily care service delivered entirely through regular phone calls: no smartphone, app, or special device required.
A friendly automated call each day to check on well-being, with automatic escalation to family or emergency services if something seems wrong.
Timed calls reminding seniors to take their medications, with confirmation tracking and follow-up if a dose is missed.
Natural, personalized conversations that reduce loneliness and help detect early signs of cognitive or emotional decline.
If a senior doesn't answer, sounds confused, or reports distress, the system automatically notifies family and, when necessary, emergency services.
Meet Margaret, 78, who lives alone in suburban Ohio and manages high blood pressure and early-stage arthritis with three daily medications. Her daughter Lisa lives two hours away.
Lives alone since her husband passed three years ago. Sharp and independent, but occasionally forgets her evening medication and sometimes goes days without a meaningful conversation. Her daughter Lisa worries constantly but can only visit twice a month.
"Good morning, Margaret. This is your daily check-in. How are you feeling today?" The AI listens for signs of confusion, distress, or health complaints.
"Hi Margaret, it's time for your blood pressure medication." If she doesn't answer, it tries again in 30 minutes, then alerts Lisa by text.
An optional companionship call to chat about Margaret's interests or share a story. The system remembers past conversations and adapts over time.
Lisa checks the web portal at lunch and sees Mom answered her call, took her medication, and had a 10-minute chat. No news is good news.
No technology is required from the senior; they only need a phone that rings.

Rather than marketing directly to millions of individual families, HachikoCare partners with large retail pharmacy chains, and affinity organizations millions of seniors already belong to, offering the service as a white-label or member-benefit product under their brand. The partner gets a new revenue stream and a compelling health service; HachikoCare gets instant access to millions of senior customers through a trusted brand.
~600 pharmacy locations, ~63M U.S. cardholders. Membership model is ideal for bundling: Costco already bundles travel, insurance, and telehealth.
~4,600 pharmacy locations, the largest retail pharmacy footprint in the U.S. ~22% of shoppers are 65+, a strong fit for affordable care.
CVS operates pharmacies inside ~1,700 Target locations and ~9,000 pharmacies total. CarePass membership (~6M subscribers) is a natural bundling vehicle.
~38 million members age 50+, the largest membership organization for older Americans and their adult children. A member-benefit partnership, similar to AARP's existing insurance and travel discounts, would reach seniors directly without requiring a pharmacy visit.
HachikoCare receives a share of each subscription (an estimated 60–70% of the retail price), plus platform licensing and integration fees paid by the retail partner. Suggested retail pricing tiers below.
HachikoCare sits at the intersection of three large, fast-growing markets.
Subscriber growth (base case, in thousands) across five phases, from a single pharmacy pilot to a market-leading, multi-partner platform.
Increased medication adherence, reduced isolation, earlier detection of health issues, and greater independence.
Peace of mind through daily check-in reports, automatic alerts, and a reliable system watching over their parent.
Reduced avoidable hospitalizations and ER visits, chipping away at $100–300B in annual non-adherence costs.
A differentiated, high-margin health service that deepens loyalty and drives pharmacy traffic.
HachikoCare is looking for retail pharmacy partners ready to offer their members a service that truly cares: no new hardware, no new app, just a phone call.
