Abstract
Description
[0001] This utility model is a smartphone emergency pad that can be attached to any smartphone, even one with a flip mechanism, either directly on the back or on its case (including accessories). No prior knowledge is required for installation.
[0002] It enables immediate recognition that emergency information is available through the emergency information card (3) and also ensures immediate access to it.
[0003] Considering that around 19 million people worldwide die each year from heart disease and stroke, and there are many other diseases for which patients urgently depend on medication, a smartphone (around 4.7 billion worldwide / around 70 million in Germany) can save lives by having an emergency pad on it that briefly contains the most important information for first responders and medical personnel.
[0004] The smartphone emergency pad consists of three components. The carrier is a double-sided adhesive gel pad (1) with the dimensions 60mm × 70mm × 1.5mm (W × H × D) The gel pad (1) adheres to all smooth and residue-free surfaces and can also be removed without leaving any residue, so that it can be reused.
[0005] A transparent 60 mm × 70 mm zippered pocket (2) with a material thickness of 90 µm (microns) is applied to the gel pad (1) to ensure the necessary strength. The zippered pocket (2) also ensures that the emergency information is protected from moisture and dirt, thus preventing damage. The zip pocket (2) can then be torn off in an emergency to access the emergency information card (3).
[0006] The emergency information card (3) is folded to the dimensions 65mm × 55mm and is positioned in the zip pocket (2).
[0007] The emergency information card (3) is made of construction paper 130g / m 2 to ensure strength and stability.
[0008] The emergency information card (3) contains the patient’s name, the current medications required, any allergies, and the contact person to be notified, including their telephone number.
[0009] This allows the patient to be addressed by name, the correct medication to be administered taking possible allergies into account, and a contact person to be informed about the incident.
[0010] This allows first responders and medical personnel to act correctly based on direct information.
[0011] All this saves time, avoids complications and saves lives.
[0012] The smartphone emergency pad does not affect the functionality and handling of the smartphone such as NFC and inductive charging, so there are no restrictions. List of reference symbols 1 gel pad 2 zip pockets 3 Emergency information card
