You seem to know a lot about this, just wondering if there are any apps which connect to pacemakers for rapid care?

Sort:  

there are different versions of pacemakers unless an app is available when after implant for recipients.

Or possible a pacemaker replacement?

Hi Moorsie, not really sure of any apps that do what you're referring to. The idea for this post originally came to me as a way to respond to respond to vertigo and other symptoms of Meniere's disease, which is a rare, chronic inner ear disorder that I suffer from and write about. I wanted to give people a way to call for help in situations where they couldn't answer their phones.

Oh okay cool, none the less very interesting. I know a friend of mine who suffers vertigo too ill definitly share this with them!

The Shake2Alert app mentioned above has a Man Down function which could be useful for vertigo. Because there's no need to use any buttons , it's probably the easiest thing to use in situations where someone can't operate their phone normally.
