Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.     Rescu is the name of an app designed to help you get assistance…in the event of an emergency…more quickly.   How does it work?   After signing up…the app brings up three large icons on your phone…police …fire…and ambulance…and says CEO Paolo Piscatelli ..you are connected to a private dispatch center…which already has your name and address or addresses…

“We streamline the information.  When you’re on the phone with 911 you have to answer questions like what’s your closest cross street, sir, mam.  On a scale of one to ten what’s the severity of your pain?  You often have to repeat the same information that you are already giving.”

Rescu…spelled R e s c u…costs 59 dollars a year.  It can also be used by loved ones remotely to get the appropriate help…and can use the GPS in your phone.  Find more info at www.rescusaveslives.com.
