That’s why we created the Vitals™ App — to securely connect first responders and caregivers in the critical moments that matter most.

SAFER COMMUNITIES FOR EVERY PERSON
Innovative technology for the social good
Vitals™ started in 2017 to meet a pressing need that we couldn’t ignore: Communities needed a simple way to protect the most vulnerable children and adults, in the moments when seconds count and minutes matter.
The Vitals™ founders knew from personal experiences the essential role of clear, calm communication between vulnerable people and first responders in a moment of crisis. And they knew that simple, powerful and lasting solutions must come through a dual focus on technology and partnerships.
Founded in partnership with the Autism Society of Minnesota, Vitals™ launched in August 2017 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Today, we help people, families, first responders and communities across the U.S. — and we are only getting started.
Our earliest work began by connecting with non-profits, families, caregivers and first responders. We heard parents and caregivers share the burden of worry, when clear communication is so uncertain between first responders and the person in their care. And we heard emergency responders express the stressful challenge they face without access to information in urgent moments of crisis or escalation.
This growing understanding led us to create a technology solution that bridges the information gap between first responders and vulnerable people in times of crisis. And we invite you to join us in the connection, care and community peace of mind that is the Vitals™ App.
Are you concerned about your own safety in an emergency? Do you have a disability or invisible condition that could affect your ability to communicate clearly? If you worry about being able to advocate for yourself in moments of crisis, the Vitals™ App can give you peace of mind.
