System
Live Heart Rate & Health
The Health tab is a real health surface, not a summary card — history on every metric, ECG results, and a medication list that travels into an emergency.
Live Heart Rate CockpitA member's pulse streaming from their Apple Watch about once a second.
Heart-Rate AlertsHigh and low thresholds on a sustained breach, not a single stray reading.
Auto-SOS BackstopAn unacknowledged breach can raise the emergency by itself.
ECG HistoryApple Watch ECG results with their classifications, in a readable timeline.
AFib Burden & Irregular RhythmThe cardiac signals Apple Watch produces, surfaced rather than buried.
Thirty-Odd VitalsResting and walking HR, HRV, blood oxygen, perfusion index, VO₂, cardio recovery, blood pressure, glucose and more.
Movement & GaitWalking speed and steadiness, asymmetry, step length, double support, stair speed.
Interactive Trend ChartsTap any metric for its history, with a range that matches your plan.
Health AlertsSet a safe range on any vital and choose who hears about a breach.
Inactivity MonitorA nudge when somebody who normally moves has not moved.
Medications & RemindersA real medication list with doses and schedules, carried into emergencies.
Medical ID & Wallet CardFilled in once, attached everywhere it matters.
Health Data SourcesSee which apps and devices actually feed your Apple Health.
Apple Watch SyncReadings keep flowing when the phone is in a bag.
Read-Only, AlwaysOrbit never writes to Apple Health and never uses health data for advertising.
System
Map, Live Track & Places

Thirty-Minute Auto-ExpiryA tracking session cannot be left quietly running.
Stop PillThe tracked person can end the session from their own map at any moment.

Arrive & Leave AlertsQuiet notifications when somebody reaches or leaves a place.

System
Driving
Automatic Trip DetectionNothing to start or stop, so nothing gets forgotten.

Live Drive CockpitSpeed, g-force and the route drawing itself as the trip happens.
Route ReplayEvery trip replayable, with distance, duration and conditions.
Weather At The TimeConditions recorded with the trip, so a bad score has context.
Speeding AlertsAt a threshold you set, for the drivers you care about.
Crash DetectionCountdown, cancel, or the full escalation chain.
Signal-Gap RecoveryA tunnel doesn't turn one drive into three.
Phantom-Drive DefenceGPS jitter in a car park doesn't invent a trip you never took.

System
Alerts & Places

SpeedingWhen a driver goes over a limit you choose.
Health ReadingWhen a vital crosses the range you set.
