Hey {{first_name | default: there}},
WeekendMVP idea for you, especially if you're building in health, family, or "peace of mind" products.
My mum lives alone now, and here's the problem I keep seeing:
Families buy all the "elder care" devices, then drown in alerts.
Blood pressure app. Pill dispenser app. Fall detector app. Doorbell camera app.
20 notifications a day, and none of them answer the only question that matters:
Are they okay?
So here's the WeekendMVP.
Please help me 🙋🏽♂️: I want to ensure I'm creating the right product for you this year. I've made a short survey that takes just 2-3 minutes to complete. Here's the link —>[» survey «]. As a thank you, you can book a FREE strategy session with me (normally paid) to discuss any ideas and get my feedback.
The idea
QuietCheck (name idea, use whatever you like)
A simple app that connects a couple of existing signals in the home and sends one daily update instead of 20 alerts.
Not raw data. A calm summary.
- Routine looked normal ✅
- Sleep was off ⚠️
- No kitchen activity by noon ⚠️
- Medication window missed ⚠️
The product promise is "less anxiety, more clarity."
Why this is a great WeekendMVP
Most people overbuild this idea.
They try to integrate every device, build a complete caregiver platform, add dashboards, chat, onboarding, billing… and nothing ships.
A WeekendMVP proves one thing first:
Will families trust a daily summary if it reduces daily check-in anxiety?
The WeekendMVP framework
Your goal is a 3-screen MVP:
1) Landing page (promise + email capture)
Headline idea:
One daily update to know if your parent is okay (without 20 alerts).
3 bullets:
- One dashboard for the signals you already have
- A daily "normal / off-pattern" summary
- Only meaningful alerts, not noise
CTA: Get early access
2) Input screen (connect 1–2 data sources only)
Don't start with everything.
Pick just one of these pairs:
- Apple Health + Ring
- Apple Health + Philips Hue (motion)
- Ring + Hue
Let the user select:
- "What does 'normal' mean?" (wake time window, check-in time, etc.)
- "Alert me if…" (no door activity by noon, no movement, etc.)
3) Output screen (the daily summary)
Show:
- Status: Normal / Slightly off / Needs attention
- 3 flags max (keep it calm)
- A simple timeline: morning/afternoon/evening
Add one button:
Please send me this daily update (email capture again)
What to build in 48 hours
Here's your weekend plan:
Friday (60–90 mins): scope + copy
- Write the one-sentence promise
- Define the three signals you'll show in the daily summary
- Decide the 1–2 integrations (or mock data for MVP)
Saturday (4–6 hours): build the flow
- Ship the three screens
- Use mock data if integrations slow you down
- Make the output feel real and understandable
Sunday (2–3 hours): deploy + distribution
- Deploy it (Vercel is perfect)
- Record a 15-second demo
- Start collecting testers
If you can demo it in 15 seconds, it's a WeekendMVP.
How to get your first 10 testers
Send this DM to people you know (or post it on LinkedIn):
"Hey, I'm building a tiny tool that gives families one daily update to know if their parent is okay, instead of 20 device notifications.
Can I send you a 15-second demo and ask two quick questions?"
Then ask:
1) What did you expect it to do that it didn't?
2) Would you use this, yes or no, and why?
Want the research + data?
If you want the deeper breakdown (competitors, market notes, integrations to start with, and a tighter MVP scope), reply to DATA, and I'll send it over.
And if you build this WeekendMVP, reply with your demo link. I'll give you feedback on the flow.
See you in the build, because I'm rooting for you.
