Apple Watch monitors you. RscMe alerts your family.
Apple Watch's built-in alerts notify only you. RscMe sends a real SMS — to up to 5 emergency contacts you choose — with your name, current heart rate, and a GPS link. No Medical ID. No 911 call. Just a text to the right people, at the right moment.

Key Features

Real text messages with your name, heart rate, and GPS location — sent to any phone, no app needed. Up to 5 emergency contacts. Each alert uses 1 credit per contact.
• Fully Automatic — No Buttons
Works even if you can't react. No apps to open, no buttons to press. Wear your Apple Watch as you normally would.
• Private by Design
Your health data is never stored. Everything stays on your device and is used only for alerts.

The “Add emergency contact” DOESN’T MENTION that this is a “optional” feature FOR WHICH YOU WILL BE CHARGED until AFTER the charge is processed. This might be a great app, but in my book THUS CONSTITUTES FRAUD. And the developers protestations the side, the fact is that if you tap the “Add emergency contact” link, Even accidentally, you are immediately charged with no dialogue screen coming up to alert you and give you the option to cancel out of it.And don’t presume that the app is functional in a limited mode without the purchase. IT ISN’T. The sole purpose of having this app is to notify someone when there’s an issue with your heart rate and IT ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT DO THAT INLESS YOU MAKE THE IN-APP PURCHASE!!

Hi LDMartin, sorry but our app is not a fraud. In a free version you receive only local notifications in case of emergency. If you want to unlock the full potential of our app (text messaging to your emergency contacts), then you have to pay a small amount (in-app purchase). This is clearly stated in the app before you make a purchase. There is a dialog window where you have to approve the purchase or you can cancel it. It is not true you are immediately charged.December 2020 update: we just released a new version. You might want to give it a try as it has been completely rebuilt. Hopefully the app store description also present the app feature in a clear way.Best regardsJan from RscMe
Excellent App

I have blood pressure issues, I have a heart artery that is moderately fatty so my blood pressure is really hard to keep up even with medication sometimes in the morning or even in the afternoon when I take a nap, my heartbeat drops below what I set the application for and my daughter is my first emergency contact and she right away texts me asking me if I’m alright and the purpose is, if I don't respond to her, she’ll call the cops to get into my apartment. I got this app because I always have thought that my heart is my weakest point and I wouldn’t like someone to find me dead days or even weeks later when my body is already decomposing.

Thank you for your very positive review! We are glad we can help.
A bit bare bones…

Downloaded this in hopes of having some way of alerting my loved ones if my heart gradually stops beating when I’m alone. The idea is great, and the monitoring appears to work—but I’m uncertain as to the efficacy. I purchased credits to allow message alert sending, but there’s no way to know what that will look like on my loved one’s end because you can’t prompt a test notification—and you can’t set the detection level sensitive enough to get one to trigger (say, setting it to below 80BPM temporarily just to flag one.)Hoping the app can and will do what it promises, a bit disappointed in the lack of phone-side app features though.

Could be great heart rate is tied to age in app
Didnt want it
I love the entire concept of this app because I have POTS but my heart rate has absolutely nothing to do with my age. My heart rate is totally connected to whether I’m standing up or laying down (or if I’ve taken my meds correctly). I recently had a health incident and wanted something that would notify myself as well as my mom if my heart rate went below X and since Apple only notifies myself this app came up in my search. Unfortunately I couldn’t set my own heart rate - that’s the biggest flaw. Otherwise I would love it. And I would suggest it to everyone in my assorted groups for POTS.
Developer Response
