Justin Sullivan/Getty ImagesThere's a Chinese app called Are You Dead? that serves as a check-in tool for people living alone. It sounds ridiculous but it could be useful!
This new app has been going viral in China and can be helpful for those living alone. How does it work? Once a day you hit a green button on the app and if there's no response it will reach out to the emergency contacts. Check out a video report on Are You Dead? shared by NBC News on YouTube below.

I don't think this is important for everyone who lives alone, but can be very useful and possibly life saving for a senior citizen or someone like that.
Do you think this would be a useful app?

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
