ALS Paramedics: Panic Button
Emergency help, one press
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Press and hold for 2.5 seconds. Your location and medical details reach the ALS control room straight away - no talking, no typing, no explaining.
ALS Paramedics is a private ambulance service. This app puts a panic button on
your phone.
Press and hold it for 2.5 seconds and our control room is alerted straight
away - with your exact location and the medical details you have saved. You do
not have to speak, type or explain anything.
WHAT OUR PARAMEDICS SEE THE MOMENT YOU PRESS IT
- Exactly where you are, on a map
- Your blood type and any allergies
- Pre-existing and chronic conditions
- Medication you are taking
- Your medical aid details
- Who to call on your behalf
That information reaches us before we reach you, so treatment can start
sooner and more safely.
BUILT FOR REAL EMERGENCIES
- Hold to activate, so it cannot go off in your pocket
- A siren you can sound with one press, to draw people nearby if you have
fallen or cannot call out. It never starts on its own, so it cannot give you
away if you would rather stay quiet.
- The siren sounds even when your iPhone is on silent
- A one-tap button to phone ALS directly, always on screen, in case you would
rather speak to someone
- You can see when we have received your alert and when an ambulance is on
its way
- Cancel with one tap if it was a false alarm
FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
Store details for family members too - useful when the person who needs help
is not the one holding the phone.
NO MONTHLY FEE
No subscription and no card required. Anyone can use it.
YOUR PRIVACY
Your location is only read at the moment you raise an alert. We do not track
you, and the app cannot see where you are while it is closed. Your medical
details are only shared with ALS Paramedics when you press the button, and
every time a staff member opens your record it is logged.

IMPORTANT
This app supports emergency services - it does not replace them. If you cannot
use the app, phone ALS Paramedics directly on 082 926 8489.
