Family Alert

Alert is the simplest way to call for help.

For anyone in distress, Alert sends alert text messages with the person's exact location to three emergency contacts, e.g. spouse or neighbor, and for Alert 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 has special features for diabetes patients: after alerting your emergency contacts, you can also choose to notify the local diabetes community, and an alert message will be sent in your name and current location to nearby users of the HelpAround Diabetes app.

And if your blood glucose monitor is connected to your iPhone, you can connect Alert to Apple's HealthKit to receive push notifications on out-of-range glucose readings; let us get your family on the line while you're digging in your bag for sugar!

We need location access to provide more accurate info to your helpers, but, as with all apps of this type, continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
