Tether is a wrist-worn wearable designed to work with Care Coordination Phone, adding proximity support for programs that need a higher level of accountability while reducing the stigma of traditional ankle devices.
SteadySignal is designed to support engagement and follow-up between contacts. Some programs or cohorts may need a higher level of structure than reminders, check-ins, and mobile communication alone. Tether can add a wearable proximity layer when a program needs additional accountability alongside Care Coordination Phone.
Tether adds a wearable proximity layer to Care Coordination Phone workflows without the stigma of traditional ankle monitoring.
A lower-profile wearable form factor that reduces the visual stigma associated with traditional ankle monitoring devices.
Designed to pair with Care Coordination Phone, extending the accountability workflow with wearable proximity confirmation.
Confirms proximity between the participant and their secured Care Coordination Phone for programs requiring that level of verification.
A less stigmatizing option compared to traditional ankle devices, supporting participant dignity during accountability programs.
Supports alerts if removed or tampered with where configured, providing staff with timely notification of compliance events.
Activity recorded through TRACKtech workflows, keeping wearable data connected to the broader accountability and documentation system.
Useful for programs that adjust accountability levels over time — adding Tether when higher structure is needed, or stepping down to Care Coordination Phone-only workflows as participants progress.
Tether is not the default SteadySignal experience. It is designed for specific cohorts and program requirements where additional wearable accountability is needed.
Do not present Tether as the default SteadySignal experience. It should be positioned as an optional higher-accountability tool for specific cohorts or program requirements. The core SteadySignal story remains engagement, reminders, check-ins, document exchange, staff visibility, and proof of contact. Tether adds a wearable proximity layer only where the workflow specifically calls for it.
Schedule a workflow review and we'll help determine whether Tether belongs in your program's accountability workflow or whether a lighter-touch SteadySignal option is the better fit.
