Hi, I am Rob van den Akker, the creator, and owner of TheLifeSigns service, based in the Amsterdam area in the Netherlands. After working for many years at Abbott Healthcare Products (I am a pharmacist), I decided to do something very different.

I was looking for a project that could solve an existing challenge in society. Reading a newspaper article about the growing number of singles being found in their homes days or weeks after something happened to them, inspired me to look for a solution to this issue.

The resulting product, ‘TheLifeSigns,’ is a simple email-based service that automatically notifies friends when a solo living individual becomes incapacitated. TheLifeSigns service was introduced in the Netherlands a couple of years ago, with very positive feedback. We are now expanding to the rest of the world.

About 800 users and buddies are currently in the system. The lifesigns button has been pressed about 90.000 times since the launch of the service.
