About this app

Emergency help for the deaf helps deaf people in need, where they can send an auto-generated text message to the emergency center in the event of an emergency. When the app starts, the user is asked to enter personal information, which is sent with the SMS to the alarm centre. In addition to this personal information, the user's choice through the app and the phone's current GPS location are also sent in the SMS. An example of an auto-generated SMS can be seen below:

The app has been developed in collaboration with the Danish National Association of the Deaf and the National Police. The app is financed by the Trygfonden.
