Non-Pixel Android phones can now support sending emergency medical information during police calls
Although compared to the new shooting software and hardware functions, or how powerful the screen refresh rate and SoC performance are, this kind of mobile device hardware software and hardware upgrade news. I hope you can set up settings on your phone including: age, weight, blood type, allergic reactions, and even emergency medical information such as organ donation, or a fancier satellite SOS alarm function. It all seems to make people feel relatively uninterested?
However, this type of function is likely to become a key life-saving feature in emergencies. Even if it is not very popular, in recent years, not only mobile phone brands have been actively deploying it, but in fact, services that communicate with them so that emergency rescue units can more quickly connect with relevant information are also quietly being carried out.
In the United States, it can already be connected with iOS and Android devices to directly transmit device location information to the police when making an emergency call (911 in the United States). It is an emergency service messaging function built by RapidSOS. The iOS platform has previously introduced a function that can additionally transmit personal medical information – don’t underestimate this function, it can allow emergency units to make certain first aid preparations in advance, which is definitely very helpful!
Such support, according to the RapidSOS official blog, is now officially supported on all Android smartphones that can install and use the Personal Safety App. No longer limited to Pixel or other specific brand models.
Although it is another “hope you will never use” function, and it seems that Taiwan does not support it yet? However, I personally feel that such a function is really worthy of support – I believe it will definitely increase the chance of accidental rescue and improve the quality of life and the feasibility of prioritizing first aid methods. The key point is that even in areas where it is not supported, it is still recommended to fill in this function in the settings menu.
Because even the country and region you are in may not support alarm services such as RapidSOS that automatically transmit emergency information. However, when there is a need for emergency rescue, in fact, through the smart device in your hand, you can also obtain “Medical Information” through the “Emergency Call” button on the standby lock screen to help medical staff quickly grasp all kinds of necessary information about your physiological condition – follow our instructions to set it up:How to set up emergency medical information on iPhone / Android phone?
