Ello for Cities

No one left alone.

A weekly call for every older resident who lives alone, in their own language, with the social team alerted when it matters.

What it does.

Ello calls each enrolled resident every week. It keeps a real conversation going, notices when someone cannot be reached or seems less well than usual, and alerts the right social worker.

  • Weekly human contact at the scale of a city
  • An alert when someone cannot be reached
  • A living picture of needs across neighbourhoods

How it unfolds.

  1. 01

    Enrollment

    Residents who live alone are offered a weekly call, in their own language.

  2. 02

    Every week

    Ello calls each one, chats, and keeps track of how they are doing.

  3. 03

    No answer

    Ingrid misses three tries in a row. Ello alerts her social worker the same day.

  4. 04

    Every month

    The city sees needs by neighbourhood: isolation, mobility, help at home.

What Ello talks about.

Natural conversations that come back to what matters for this program, never a questionnaire read aloud.
