HelpAround Uses Mobile Technology to Connect Diabetics Who Can Help Each Other
Diabetes is a serious condition that millions of people struggle with daily. Non-diabetics often don’t realize the difficulties of monitoring the condition and how easy it is for people to make mistakes that can end in serious harm to their bodies. HelpAround is a cool product in technology that wants to make these mistakes a non-issue for diabetics everywhere. HelpAround is a mobile application that diabetics can download and use to get help whenever they find themselves stuck in a bad situation. For example, HelpAround users can get assistance if they lose their meter or run out of glucose tabs. This cool product attains help for its users through crowdsourcing. According to HelpAround, roughly one in ten people suffer from some form of Diabetes. Diabetics are often in crowded areas when unexpected problems arise. HelpAround uses GPS to find other diabetics nearby who might be able to help a user who is in trouble. By having a large network of diabetic users on HelpAround, people can support each other whenever one of these sticky situations occurs. Users who believe their HelpAround app has trouble connecting with other nearby users may have connection problems on their phones and require smartphone IT support.
The HelpAround website refers to the app’s crowdsourced network of support as a “mobile safety net” for those with diabetes. Whenever they find themselves away from home and in need of help from someone who understands their situation, HelpAround users can search for help with a tap of the finger. Anyone else who has HelpAround on his or her phone nearby and is part of the support network will receive a notification with the location of the user in need of help. Users can also add customized messages when requesting assistance so that other diabetics can see the specific type of help needed.
HelpAround is currently available on both iPhone and Android devices. People can download the apps from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. If someone experiences an issue when trying to download this cool product, that person should contact a mobile tech support service to fix the problem.
