The South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw Test Bed Programme is working with a company who have launched an app which will alert others to a person’s medical needs in an emergency.
SOS UK is being offered as a free download to the public and will contain details of medications, allergies and other information which will be useful and also ensures that nominated people will be contacted in an emergency.
The app is being assessed by Sheffield University and is thought it will be particularly useful for carers and those who do not speak English but have someone who can enter the details for them.
