About SOS Call
The app in combination with SOS-Call.eu is the first service worldwide to significantly accelerate the dispatch of emergency services. By utilizing the latest technology in this app, SOS-Call.eu has generated a time savings of several hours—a result that has been scientifically verified. Rescue services are dispatched efficiently and precisely—and in the local language—to the patient’s exact location.
When traveling abroad or in remote areas, there are a variety of factors that can make contacting emergency services directly over the local emergency phone number (112 in Europe) very difficult:
Telephone number of EMS (emergency medical services)
Each country has different short telephone numbers for rescue, police or fire brigade. The app looks for the current country and displays the numbers ready to be dialed (e.g. 911 for USA or 112 for Europe).
Providing Locations
For instance, were you to find yourself injured in a forest, consider the difficulty you would have explaining your precise location to the emergency hotline operator. The app provides the GPS coordinates of your exact position.
Language Barriers
Imagine you are traveling in southern Italy and speak only a few words of Italian. In an emergency, it would be very challenging to describe to the local emergency hotline operator where you are and what has happened.
With the SOS-Call.eu application, you can send your current location data to our control center in Germany by pushing the SOS-Call.eu button.
Information about the emergency, including a map with your exact position, is immediately forwarded to our partner control center abroad. Our partners dispatch the local emergency services in the local language and help is on the way.
In order to cover the cost of this service, you should have medical travel insurance. For further information contact www.sos-call.eu.
