Are you dead?" may not be the most appropriate of questions, but it must be on the minds of many Chinese - judging by the popularity of a mobile app in China. So why has an app called, 'Are You Dead?' gone viral there?
The concept is simple: you need to check in with it every two days by clicking a large button to confirm that you are still alive. If not, for the low price of eight yuan a month it will get in touch with your appointed emergency contact and inform them that you may be in trouble.
There have been times when I have been wondering about you as well, and so I've built my own app which is freely available by clicking here.
