With Need To Know you build a network of concerned friends, family members, employees, or teammates by selecting names from your contact list (or by entering cell phone numbers) and inviting them to download the app.  Users in your group(s) can then schedule routine messages to any or all other network members on a customisable, repeatable schedule, and all network members will receive all responses as notifications.  Best used to check on wellbeing of those who live alone or apart from family members, to inquire if routine tasks have been accomplished (medications, caregiver visits, bill paying, etc.), or to see if network members are on schedule for an upcoming event (work, sports practice, card game, etc.).  Once a message is scheduled it is transmitted automatically, providing for increased situational awareness for all network members without anyone having to remember to call, text, or email.
