Polka has announced its new US$2.99 iPhone Emergency Card application is available on the Apple App Store today. Polka’s iPhone Emergency Card provides life-saving information on the iPhone and iPod touch devices.
Polka’s iPhone Emergency Card stores users’ important health and contact information securely and makes it accessible anytime, anywhere, and when they need it most during the critical moments of an emergency. Too often, hospital and doctors’ IT systems are diverse and unconnected, creating a scenario where a patient’s basic information must be collected from scratch, according to Mike Kirkwood, founder and CEO, Polka. A simple, yet possibly life-saving, solution like the iPhone Emergency Card provides vital information at users’ and emergency technicians’ fingertips, he adds.
iPhone and iPod touch users can create the iPhone Emergency Card in a matter of minutes, and detail important personal information, including emergency contacts, blood type, allergies to food or medications, and more, Kirkwood notes. Users can access maps to nearest hospitals and medical centers seamlessly within the application. In addition, iPhone users can print a wallet-sized version of their card as a back-up and hard copy.
