The ICU Bystander Intervention Beacon App
When a nearby phone with the ICU Bystander Intervention Beacon App downloaded on it detects an ICU Bystander Intervention Beacon signal it will alert with a notification and audible sonar ping.
When the notification is tapped the App will open and ask the user to acknowledge that they’ve received a request for help and support.
All they need to do now is look up and see what is happening around them and then follow the simple on screen guide as to how to effectively Step Up, Step In and Safely Help with whatever situation they have observed.
The ICU Bystander Intervention Beacon App does not transmit or record any location data and just requires your location services to be turned on so that it correctly scans for ICU beacon signals
Once the app is installed enable Bluetooth and Location Services and then leave the app open in the background. This will ensure that the app is scanning and functioning properly.
