mySOS is used as the emergency app in over 400 events each year. This includes mountain biking, road cycling, trail running, road running, horse riding and motorbike enduro events.
A participant is linked to a specific event with their cell phone number, and will then have a dedicated event button for the duration of the event. This button is linked to the emergency service providers of the event. mySOS has been used for numerous incidents during events, pinpointing the locations of the participants and thereby making emergency response faster.
“Follow My Rider” is a new service launched specifically for events in addition to the normal emergency app services. The participant needs to track a journey on the mySOS app, which the supporters can then follow on the mySOS website. Both the Old Mutual joBerg2c and KAP sani2c has used this new service with great success.

mySOS is also used by Netcare 911 as their emergency app. When a mySOS user activates a Netcare 911 emergency on the app, we send the following information – location, name and contact details of callers – directly to their call centre, so they can respond faster.

The following is currently available on the mySOS app:

1. 1-button emergency activation – on starting mySOS an automatic countdown timer starts, if this is not cleared, mySOS will automatically notify your emergency contacts with details of the emergency and location.
2. Emergency – offers a list of contact details for the closest and most appropriate emergency service providers based on the nature of your emergency (medical, police, fire, sea rescue or roadside assist). mySOS also notifies your emergency contacts about the incident and your location.
3. Find Near Me – helps you find, contact and navigate to the nearest service provider for the service you need. This includes hospitals, doctors, pharmacies, dentists, police stations and also veterinary services for your four legged friends.
4. Track Me – Set the countdown timer before you start and mySOS will track you, if anything happens and you do not clear the timer before it runs out, your emergency contacts will be notified about your journey details and current location.
