Be Prepared This Summer With The American Red Cross App

Obviously, a smartphone is an important tool for calling for help when encountering a medical emergency, but it also can be a source of information to help one during those minutes until help arrives. The American Red Cross in partnership with Dr. Oz and Sharecare, have released the S.O.S. Emergency Support app for Android smartphones.

When you first start the app, you see a big red button labeled Emergency, as shown in the screenshot. Tap the button to start the process of being guided towards the proper care to provide.
