Emergency calling
Uses a deliberate, confirmed handoff to place a 911 call through the iPhone or iPad.
Accessible safety and care support
Help should always be easy to reach.
SafeHelp provides large, clear actions for emergencies, falls, trusted-person calls, check-ins, medical information, and help getting home.
Designed natively for iPhone and iPad. The public App Store link will be added here when the listing becomes available.
Core principle
When something goes wrong, the user should not have to figure out how to use their phone.
Clear actions
The important choices, immediately visible.
SafeHelp is designed for older adults, disabled adults, children with caregiver supervision, people with limited vision or dexterity, and anyone who benefits from exceptionally clear controls.
Fall assistance
Lets the user report a fall and prepare a help message. SafeHelp does not claim automatic fall detection.
Trusted-person contact
Calls a configured trusted person without requiring the user to navigate a contact list during a stressful moment.
I'm OK check-in
Prepares a clear check-in so a trusted person can know that the user is all right.
Take Me Home
Opens directions to a configured home address in Apple Maps and keeps trusted-person help nearby.
User-reviewed location sharing
Adds current location to a help message only when the user initiates the action and reviews the message.
Medical Card
Keeps optional medical, medication, doctor, and emergency-contact information available on the device.
Care reminders
Provides local medication and check-in reminders controlled through Apple notification settings.
Intentional panic siren
Uses press-and-hold activation to reduce accidental triggering while keeping the siren accessible.
Accessible by design
Built to reduce hesitation and cognitive load.
The interface pairs familiar language with strong visual hierarchy so the user can recognize an action quickly, confirm it, and understand what happens next.

Personal support tools
Useful information stays close. The user stays in control.
SafeHelp uses familiar Apple system interfaces for calls, messages, directions, notifications, AirDrop, and sharing. Actions remain visible and intentional.
Private Medical Card
Optionally store a name and profile, emergency contacts, allergies, medications, medical conditions, doctors and care professionals, a preferred hospital, and important medical notes. Information stays on the device unless the user deliberately shares it through Apple's share interface.
Take Me Home assistance
A configured home address can open Apple Maps directions, call a trusted person, or prepare a location-sharing help message. This is an assistance feature, not a substitute for caregiver supervision or emergency services.
Care-team connections
Configure doctors, care professionals, and trusted contacts for direct, user-initiated calls and message preparation without exposing an entire contacts database.
