Staying Alive in a few words: Staying Alive is an app that allows anyone trained (or not) in CPR to help save a victim of cardiac arrest by being alerted by Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Our mission: In France, there are 50,000 sudden cardiac arrests per year. The survival rate from this scourge is less than 10%. Our mission is to respond to the life-threatening emergency of cardiac arrest by engaging a trained, committed and supportive community to create a safer world. Your role downloading Staying Alive: You directly help the victim by performing a CPR or by getting a defibrillator.

About

Curani Care

Features
Read full description

Curani Care is the companion app for caregivers. When someone you care for uses Curani to manage their medications, they can invite you to follow along — no account, no server of ours, and nothing they didn't explicitly share. See their medications, dosing schedule, and dose history at a glance. Tap any medication to see its own trend, or switch to a calendar view. A clear "needs attention" summary surfaces missed doses. Scan the invite QR code from their Curani app, or tap their share link, and their dashboard appears. Following more than one person? Each has their own space. Send a gentle check-in so they know you're there, without nagging. Ask Siri how they're doing: “Did Mom take their pills in Curani Care?” Siri tells you what's been taken, what's overdue and what's next. Or send a check-in by voice: “Check in on Mom with Curani Care.” Curani Care works with Curani, the private medication reminder — the person you care for installs Curani and shares their care with you.
