Critical Details Are Sent

Live audio and video continue as responders are dispatched — giving police, fire, and EMS the full picture before they ever arrive.
Peace of mind, even when you’re not there.
The Halo app is designed to support the Halo Button™, not replace it. While the button works independently in an emergency, the app helps you prepare ahead of time, stay informed, and stay connected when you’re away from home. With the Halo app, you can:
Set up and manage your Halo devices including subscriptions and household settings.
Subscription required. Plans start at $99/year.
Enter and update critical context like location details, access instructions, medical needs, and household information before an emergency happens.
Stay connected when you’re away by looking and listening in during an emergency, with live video, audio, and transcriptions.

Real Parents.
Real Mission.
We’re the Rosenbergs — Reed, Amanda, Rhett, and Charlie — a family from Eugene, Oregon, building Cura out of real life, not a boardroom.
Like so many parents, we found ourselves asking a simple but unsettling question: If something happened at home…how would our kids actually get help? That question became our mission. First to solve it for our own family — and now to help other parents, caregivers, and families feel more prepared at home.
The 1% That Gives Back
Cura is deeply personal to us. Our daughter received care for a cleft lip and palate at OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. The Pediatric Cleft and Craniofacial Reconstructive Team didn’t just treat her — they changed our lives.
Because of that experience, we’ve committed to donating 1% of Cura’s annual revenue back to the Doernbecher team. It’s our way of helping ensure more families receive the same world-class care that meant everything to us.
