Your Android phone just got a very useful update that can save your life in the event of a medical emergency.
When you’re in an emergency, every second matters. And if you already have your health information on your phone, it’s going to be even easier than ever to get that critical information over to operatorsm Now, when you make an emergency call on your Android phone, your health information can be sent directly to emergency services when you call 911.
This new feature update is made possible due to Google partnering with RapidSOS to allow data from Android ELS (Emergency Location Service) to be given to emergency contacts and first responders. The type of data that we’re talking about is critical medical information that can save your life, such as blood type, emergency contacts, and severe allergies.
