About this app

EMRO is an emergency response app that provides medical and security emergency services to subscribers within covered territories. Whenever you’re in an emergency, you can request for an ambulance or armed vehicle and it gets to your location within a short period of time.
The app uses internet service (cellular data, wi-fi) and your GPS location to function accurately.
Safety monitor service - Safety monitor allows you to notify your emergency contacts of your location during an emergency. Once activated, all available sensors on your phone (e.g. cameras, voice recording, location via GPS) are activated and uploaded to the website and an access link (accessible for a total duration of 6 hours) is created. The duration period will be configurable.
Armed response service - This service dispatches emergency armed response to your location as soon as you panic, provided you are in the covered territory.
