Android Devices Now Capable of Sending Medical Data During 911 Calls

Android users now have the ability to automatically send medical data during 911 calls, a feature that aims to provide emergency responders with crucial information about a caller's health condition. This includes details such as allergies, medications, and medical history. The feature is available on select devices running Android 12 or higher with the Personal Safety app installed.

The feature relays information such as age, weight, blood type, and allergies to a platform called RapidSOS, which is connected to over 15,000 911 and field responder agencies. This functionality is designed to save time for responders by providing them with important information before they arrive at the scene.

Users can opt-in to share medical information with first responders when calling or texting 911. This feature has been available for iPhone and Apple Watch users since 2020. Android users can add information such as their name, allergies, emergency contacts, and preexisting medical conditions. The feature is especially beneficial if the person contacting 911 is unable to communicate.

Currently, the Personal Safety app is only available for Nothing Phone 1 and Pixel 4-8 Pro users, as well as the Pixel Watch 2. The feature is expected to be rolled out to other Android devices in the future.
