Close the Digital Safety Gap.
A Global White Paper on Protecting Older Adults from Digital Fraud at Scale.
Executive Summary
Visual interfaces designed for young, able-bodied users are inadvertently costing the world’s older adults $77.7 billion annually in fraud and scams, a figure highlighted in Nasdaq’s 2024 Global Financial Crime Report. With the global population aged 60 and over projected to reach 1.4 billion by 2030, this design crisis demands urgent, scalable intervention.
Silver Sentinel introduces SageDial, a revolutionary approach that removes the screen as a point of failure. A single, secure phone number transforms any telephone into a safe, voice-first gateway to essential online services.
The Accessibility-Security Crisis
Common digital interfaces present severe fraud risks due to age-related physical and cognitive changes. These are not user errors; they are systemic design failures.
Reduced Visual Acuity
Fine-print links and low-contrast text exploit vision impairments, leading directly to sophisticated phishing and malware attacks.
Impaired Motor Skills
Small touch targets and complex gestures can cause costly mis-clicks, resulting in unintentional purchases or subscription traps.
Cognitive Overload
Aggressive countdown timers and high-pressure tactics exploit slower processing speeds to enable devastating payment scams.

Why Current Measures Fail
Existing safety tools are screen-based and complex, fundamentally failing to address the core accessibility challenges.
Pop-up & Ad Blockers
Browser-only solutions that offer zero protection from the primary vectors of elder fraud: phone calls and SMS scams.
Password Managers & 2FA
Complex systems that require a high degree of technical skill, visual confirmation, and dexterity that can be significant barriers.
“Senior-Friendly” Devices
Simplified interfaces that still rely on screens, steady hands, and reliable data connections, failing to solve the root problem.

The Solution: SageDial
Instead of attempting to fix a flawed interface, we bypass it entirely. SageDial provides a voice-first gateway to the digital world, turning any phone into an instrument of safety and empowerment.
- Simple, universal access via any phone.
- Proactive screening of scams and fraud.
- Natural language interface requires no technical skill.
The Future of SageDial: Our Roadmap
We are continuously expanding SageDial's capabilities to create a comprehensive life companion, focusing on three key areas of innovation.

Enhanced Financial Security
Deep integration with banking and insurance providers to monitor balances, block fraudulent charges, and automatically negotiate to lower monthly bills.

Deeper Family Connection
A shared dashboard for family members to receive real-time updates and alerts, along with smart reminders for appointments and important events.

Life Companion Services
Expanding beyond safety to include travel booking, contractor vetting, and email management, turning SageDial into an indispensable personal assistant.
We are actively seeking partners to join us in building this future. Contact us to learn more.
