About the Project
Our client, based out in Germany, recognized the need for the automation of intimation to patient’s kin i.e. emergency contacts. Their idea was to give medical assistance to those who are at high risk of losing consciousness such as critically injured athletes, chronically ill patients, and ailing seniors staying independently. They thought, a mobile application would be suitable for this need.
