🆘 Emergency sheet
Allergies, medications and emergency contacts for paramedics and helpers – within reach on your phone with one tap on “NOTFALL”.
What it does for you
- In an emergency, rescuers see within seconds what they need to know – even if you can no longer speak.
- A red “NOTFALL” icon on your home screen opens the sheet right away, without signing in.
- Your health data is stored encrypted in your vault – nobody else can read it, not even us.
Who it is for: Everyone – especially if you have allergies, take medication regularly or have a condition helpers need to know about.
What you need: A password vault (the data is stored there). Time: about 10 minutes.
Setting up
On the PC click 🆘 Emergency sheet at the top, on the phone the 🆘 Notfallblatt tile. If the vault is locked, unlock it first.
- Person: name, date of birth, blood type, optionally a photo (helps rescuers recognise you).
- Contacts: at least one emergency contact with phone number, at most five. The first is called first.
- Medical: warnings (e.g. blood thinners, epilepsy), allergies with severity, medications, conditions, implants.
- More details: doctors, insurance, advance directive, organ donation, 📎 documents, other.
- Access & print: PIN, language, on the phone the “NOTFALL” icon, printing.
On the right (below on the phone) you always see the preview – “Without PIN” shows exactly what a helper sees right away. Finally 💾 Save.
Tip
keep entries short, e.g. “penicillin – shortness of breath”. Rescuers read under time pressure.
Attaching the advance directive
You rarely carry your advance directive with you. So you can attach it under 4 More details → 📎 Documents – as PDF or as photos of the pages (photos are reduced automatically). The same works e.g. for a power of attorney or medication plan. Up to 10 documents, at most 5 MB in total.
The documents are stored encrypted in the vault and so also reach the phone. In the emergency view doctors open them with one tap – right on the phone, without internet and without another app. The A4 printout notes that the advance directive is stored in the phone.
Tip
like the directives, documents only appear after the PIN. If helpers should see them without PIN, tick “Documents” under 5 Access & print.
PIN – what is visible without PIN?
A PIN (4 to 6 digits) is recommended. The vital information – warnings, allergies, medications, conditions, implants, emergency contacts – stays visible without PIN, otherwise the sheet is useless in an emergency. Doctors, insurance, directives, documents and other details appear only after the PIN. You choose what is visible without PIN.
Warning
whatever is visible without PIN can be seen by anyone holding your phone – even when it is locked.
The PIN is separate from your phone code and your DasDing password. After three wrong attempts there is a 30-second wait, then longer each time. Data is never deleted. Forgot the PIN? Simply set a new one in the emergency sheet.
On the phone: “NOTFALL” icon on the home screen
After the first save your phone asks whether the “NOTFALL” icon (red cross) should go on your home screen – the page with your apps. Confirm, done. You can do this any time later under 5 Access & print → Put “NOTFALL” on the home screen. One tap on the icon opens the sheet right away, without signing in. The icon is also in the list of all apps.
Your wallpaper stays unchanged and nothing is shown permanently.
And if the phone is locked?
The icon can only be reached on an unlocked phone. If helpers should be able to open the sheet without your code, turn on a permanent “🆘 NOTFALL” notice on the lock screen under 5 Access & print → “Additionally: reachable on a locked phone too” (optional, off by default). For everything else: the wallet card.
In the emergency view helpers can switch the language (German, French, Italian, English, Spanish), call an emergency contact with one tap and dial 144 or 112. If you allow direct calls under “Access”, the phone dials the number right away. 👁 Test view shows the sheet exactly as a helper sees it.
Safe
the emergency view has no way into the rest of the app – no vault, no mail, no files. It needs no internet.
PC and phone
The emergency sheet is stored in your password vault and syncs through it: fill it in comfortably on the PC, and it is on the phone after the vault is next unlocked there. The phone keeps its own encrypted copy for the emergency view – so it works without internet and without the vault password.
Printing
Under 5 Access & print:
- A4 – all details to keep at home or to hand over (e.g. at hospital).
- A4 – only no-PIN details for the fridge or the car.
- Wallet card (front and back).
At the bottom of the A4 sheet is a QR code with the short info – any phone camera can read it. On the PC the PDF is only saved on your computer, on the phone it opens in your PDF app for printing or sharing. None of it goes to the cloud.
Keeping it up to date
The sheet shows the date it was updated. If it is older than a year, DasDing reminds you to check the details. After every change (new medication, new number) just save – and replace printouts.
Deleting
🗑 Delete emergency sheet moves the sheet to the vault's trash. On the phone the “NOTFALL” icon disappears.
