Information

Summary

The Adrenal app helps people with adrenal insufficiency in emergency situations, for example by:

• ensuring that crucial medical information is available for clinicians on the individual’s phone
• showing instantly to clinical staff that the person has adrenal insufficiency and is dependent on hydrocortisone
• helping ambulance or Accident and Emergency teams to "inject first, talk later".

The app also helps people to manage their adrenal insufficiency day to day, for example:

• deciding what measures may need to be taken to get through the planned day
• take action to help prevent adrenal crises
• identifying when they may need to get in touch with healthcare professionals
• setting up reminders about prescriptions and appointments.

Adrenal app also helps users to:

• keep their medical information and emergency contacts up to date
• manage their child’s condition
• help family members to take emergency action, including emergency injections.

The app name varies depending on the language and country of use, for example:

• Bijnier (Netherlands)
• SOS Addison (Denmark)
• Nebennieren (Germany – Apple)
• Adrenals (Germany – Android)

The current range of countries is listed at:
