To use it, its users must complete a form containing information on their state of health. The goal ? Allow the emergency services to have access to this information if the bearer is not in a position to communicate it to them, in order to facilitate care. “I started to think about it as a teenager when I was on long bike rides. I had several accidents where, luckily, I was able to respond to the emergency services. But what would have happened if I did not. could not answer? “, confides Riyad Bouak to the Parisian. All data collected is anonymous and encrypted and stored on a server approved by the Ministry of Health.
To create these jewels, the entrepreneur met several firefighters and Samu officials from Île-de-France. Doctor Georges-Antoine Capitani, head of service at Samu 91, is one of them: “It seems good to me but the information will have to be updated by the users”, he explains to the subjects of these jewels, sold at a price of € 19.90 on the website of the society.
