The app has versions for Android, Window phone, iPhone and also Blackberry.

It allows users to feed five primary contacts once the app is installed.

If GPRS is not working, the alert will be generated via SMS. The user also gets an immediate call from the Smart 24X7 Customer Care Centre.

It can be downloaded for free from the app store of the smartphone. Once downloaded a personal data form needs to be filled by the user. The user has to mention all the details including blood group, phone number and his or her location correctly to install the app in the phone.
