Smart 911
Smart 911 is a smartphone application linked with the emergency telephone number from the United States (911). This application allows people to enter the information they want 911’s operators to have in case of emergency. When a person that has a profile calls 911, the operator and first responders have access to the information previously recorded.
Application startup
Before this application, when someone called 911 from a cell phone or a landline, the operator just had the information that the victim told them. As technology advanced, workers could find the location of the caller. But sometimes, the data wasn’t accurate and it took longer to get help.
This fact and the evolution of mobile phones with internet have prompted Smart 911. It allows personal assistants, police, firefighters and doctors to have a database from the victim, that the person had created before.
Design and content of the application
It is a free and voluntary enrollment. The only thing to do is to enter on the official website (Smart 911), and introduce a phone number that you want to register, as well as other useful information like medical information that may be helpful in a critical situation.
Also, they can add information about their pets and their children, with photos of them and even pictures of the house, basic information about the distribution of their house, because it can help service workers to access the house if necessary. The photographs of children and pets can help if they disappear.
The application is very useful for people who have chronic diseases or a disability.
Privacy
Registered information on the profile has to be protected by Smart 911 service. Only police, firefighters or doctors can access this profile.
