Emergency Health Information
Securely store your important medical details inside the SOS App to assist emergency responders or your trusted contacts during critical situations. Accurate emergency health information can significantly improve the speed and quality of assistance during accidents, medical emergencies, or SOS alerts.
Overview
Emergency Health Information allows you to:
- Save critical health details like blood group, allergies, existing medical conditions, and medications.
- Share essential medical info automatically during SOS alerts (optional based on your settings).
- Provide responders with the right information to deliver faster, safer care.
Your health data is stored privately inside the app and shared only when needed.
What Health Information Can Be Stored
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Blood Group | Essential for emergency transfusions or critical medical decisions. |
| Allergies | List of allergies to medications, foods, or environmental factors. |
| Medical Conditions | Chronic illnesses, disabilities, or important medical history. |
| Medications | List of ongoing medications that responders should know about. |
Keeping this information updated ensures it is available immediately during emergencies when you may not be able to communicate.
How Emergency Health Info is Used
- During an SOS Alert, your selected emergency contacts can receive limited health information (optional based on settings).
- If responders access your phone during emergencies, they can view health info directly from the SOS App if authorized.
- Family members tracking you through Family Tracking may also access shared health details in urgent cases if allowed.
Sharing health information is always controlled by your privacy settings inside the SOS App.

Privacy and Security
