Just click on the pencil icon in the top right hand corner and the information that you may want to include is:

  • Medical Conditions
  • Allergies
  • Current Medications
  • Blood Type
  • Other (If there is anything mild or serious that is not listed)

Emergency contacts are specific people that Emergency Responders may need to call in case of an emergency. Even in the event you are unresponsive Emergency Responders will still be able to access your emergency contacts. To add Emergency Contacts click on the pencil iconAdd Member Save. You can also add a specific ringtone for emergency contacts.

Auto Call

From your emergency contacts you can select someone to call automatically after your SOS messages have been set.

This feature will take and send photos with both the front and back camera after the SOS message has been sent. The purpose of this is to give some sort of evidence of the environment you’re in which in some emergency situations are not going to be perfect photos but could be the reason that your life will be saved.

Emergency Mode

The Home screen will be changed to dark mode to use less battery and you will be able to use messages, contacts and emergency calls but other app access will be restricted. The purpose of this is to conserve your phones battery life in an emergency situation where you may not be able to use a charger or see people for days or weeks. This is used for dire situations, for example, you’re lost in a forest or on a deserted island, or maybe a building collapsed and you’re stuck underneath the rubble but still alive.
