The SOS QR app will help you be prepared and stay safe during an emergency situation, either at or away from home, with: a one-touch SOS button that alerts your emergency contacts with your GPS location, an emergency record attached to a personal QR code that lets emergency responders view your critical health information, in their own language. EMERGENCY RECORDS SOS QR allows you to create emergency records for multiple profiles, with easy entry of emergency medical and contact information. SOS QR creates two versions of the emergency record for each profile: (1) a private one accessed from the SOS QR app itself, for you to edit or share in person (e.g., in an emergency room), and which has all detailed information viewable; and (2) a public, de-identified online version published to a secure Humetrix SOS QR server so that it is available to emergency responders who scan the record’s QR code when you are incapacitated and cannot open your phone. By default, the public version of the emergency record is de-identified so that information such as Last Name or Date of Birth do not appear in the record. Emergency records include different categories-of-information for you to use as needed: Personal Details, Spoken Languages, Emergency Contacts, Allergies, Immunizations, Medical Conditions, Medications, Other Health Info, Implanted Devices, and Special Needs. Enter pertinent information in each category for your emergency record. You should include any vital information in an emergency situation like a life-threatening allergy, or any underlying chronic condition so that emergency medical personnel will know about it. It is important to fill out the Emergency Contacts section with the name and contact information of the person(s) you want to be directly alerted in case of an emergency. Some fields in a few of the categories are masked so that the public version of the record is de-identified. To unmask any of these fields, simply tap the red-shield icon next to the field. MEDICAL CONDITION CARE GUIDELINE NOTIFICATIONS As you enter a common chronic medical condition (e.g. asthma or diabetes), SOS QR will automatically let you know of the recommended quality-of-care guideline for this condition so that you and your healthcare providers can be informed. WALLET CARDS A wallet card that includes your QR code, retrieval PIN code, and your profile photo can be printed from within the application if you have a WIFI printer. QR CODE SCANNING FOR EMERGENCY RECORD ACCESS In an emergency, emergency personnel can scan the QR code with any QR code scanner to see your pertinent health information. When the QR code is scanned, SOS QR automatically sends an email to your listed contacts, with a map of the emergency location. AUTOMATED RECORD TRANSLATION WHEN TRAVELING When your QR code is access while on travel, SOS QR provides for a translation of your record (including medical conditions and medications) so that emergency responders view your records in their language. Languages supported by SOS QR include: English US and English UK, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Mandarin Chinese.

After a 2-month free trial, payment for the Service Subscription of your choice will be charged to your Apple ID account unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the trial.

It’s great to have an emergency record with me at all times. ### 5/5 — Easy to enter and organize medical info; intelligible privacy policy *2017-10-23, version 4.0* Great for keeping all your medications, emergency contacts, etc. in one place—also useful if you like to travel (can translate record into Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Chinese) ### 1/5 — The worst *2016-10-19, version 3.05* I don't often write reviews for apps but since this is supposed to be a "safety" app I just thought I had to say something. I saw this app featured on the morning local news here in San Diego. It was featured as a free way to easily let your family/friends know that you're ok (and for them to let you know they're ok) in the event of an emergency. Obviously everyone would or should have a way to easily communicate in the event of a disaster or emergency. Since I have been involved in a few emergencies (like the fires of 2014) this seemed a great thing to get and encourage my family and close friends to get. I quickly downloaded it from App Store and emailed my close family to please do the same. A few hours after getting it on my phone I entered all my info and started to add people to my contacts. A few hours later I opened it back up to finish adding info. Not only had it not saved any of my info but everyone I tried to add also had failed. To make matters worse, once you add basic info they're asking for you to pay for a premium version, which as far as I can tell, is the only way to use the app at all. Bottom line, don't waste your time or embarrassment from family and friends. **Developer response:** Hello Nkay666 – Thank you for your feedback and taking the time to write this review. We apologize that you did not have a good experience with SOSQR. When you create a new profile, you need to publish this data for it to persist between app uses. We plan to address this and make it more explicit in an upcoming release as soon as we can. Feel free to call our support line at 888-746-7203 if you would like to discuss further. ### 5/5 — Incredible app!!! *2015-12-07, version 2.0* This app is incredible. I enter my RX in English for drugs I'm prescribed in US then the drug ingredients appear in Spanish when I change the language to Spanish. Also, if I'm in other countries (France, Brazil, China or Spain) and someone scans the QR code my prescriptions, conditions and immunizations appear in those languages. There is no other app like this to keep me safe when traveling! ### 5/5 — Useful and elegant *2015-12-01, version 2.0* Wonderful app that we definitely use in our family for some extra piece of mind. I like how much (or little) info we can put into an emergency record. Thumbs up! ### 5/5 — Very Useful *2014-11-13, version 1.2* Love the auto alerts feature ## Frequently asked questions about SOS QR ### What is the SOS QR app?
