Here I Am - Emergency App

WHAT IS THE HERE I AM APP?
The Here I Am App is a potentially lifesaving App which allows users to input information about themselves, including medical information such as; existing health concerns, previous traumas, allergies, blood group & their doctor’s contact information. It also allows the user to choose up to three contacts from their phone’s contact list that they would like to alert by text message in case of an emergency.
When sent, the text message will relay the user’s/sender’s medical information to each of their contacts along with the precise GPS coordinates of the user so those receiving the emergency text message will be informed as to who sent the emergency message, what medical condition(s) the sender may have & where the sender is presently located.
