This Is the App That Might Save Your Life

This Is the App That Might Save Your Life

In this day and age, you can never be too careful or too safe, and luckily technology is here to help. Whether you live alone, have a chronic condition or just want to be cautious, you’ve probably wondered before how you would ever notify someone in case anything ever happens. Enter Alert by HelpAround, an app that notifies your emergency contacts in case you’re ever in danger.


It’s particularly helpful for those who have diabetes, since you can go into the Settings and turn on “Also notify nearby D-Helpers” (that’s Diabetes Helpers). The app can also link to the Apple Health app and send you Blood Glucose Alerts.

All in all, it’s a good app to keep in the “Just In Case” folder. Stay safe, everyone.

DL It: Free on iOS and Android ($9.99 per month subscription for calls)
