In order for foreign language answers not to be misunderstood, the app’s questions are formulated so that respondents can answer with ‘yes’ and ‘no’ gestures or by pointing. We’ve also thought of patients with restricted mobility who can only communicate by blinking.

All content and translations take into account the age and sex of the patient. This ensures that the right person feels addressed in every situation, regardless of language.

In order to have a calming effect, all texts have been spoken by native speakers. The clearly understandable audio also allows communication from the foot of a stretcher or from the passenger seat in the ambulance.

A text display can be used in addition to or instead of the audio output. This is useful if a patient cannot hear well or at all or because you want to ask personal questions in private despite the presence of third parties.

aidminutes.rescue offers targeted support even in difficult cases. This is helpful when dealing with aggressive people or when there is suspicion of domestic violence, child abuse or suicide situations - when misunderstandings can be particularly dangerous for rescuers themselves.

The app aidminutes.rescue currently contains over 250 professionally-categorised questions, reassurances and informational statements in various languages and dialects, which can be accessed in an emergency in a matter of seconds.
