Alert Family Medical SOS

For anyone in distress, this family emergency button sends text messages with the person's exact location to three emergency contacts, e.g. spouse or neighbor, and for Premium subscribers, calls each one of them into a conference call.

It's that simple - no typing, no dialing, no texting. Plus, after alerting your emergency contacts, you can also call 911 (or any local emergency services) straight from the Alert app.

This can be particularly useful for people at risk of asthma attacks, dementia-related confusions, blood-sugar lows, allergic reactions, panic attacks, and more.

For both text messaging and conference calls, Alert uses WiFi or your data plan, so the app does not cut into voice minutes.

Alert is also the first app to act in real time to changes in Apple's Health app data. It has special features specifically for those concerned about blood-glucose fluctuations: after alerting your personal helpers, you can also choose to notify nearby Diabetes Helpers, and an alert message will be sent in your name with your current location to nearby users of the HelpAround Diabetes app. And if your blood glucose monitor is connected to your iPhone, you can turn on Blood Glucose alerts to receive push notifications on out-of-range glucose readings; now you can get your helpers on the line while digging in your bag for sugar.
