What is LifeLine Europe?

It includes a one-tap SOS button with What3Words precision location, 70+ bilingual phrase cards with phonetic pronunciation, Bystander Mode, a constat amiable guide, lone worker check-in, workplace accident reporting and a document vault with expiry alerts.

What countries does LifeLine Europe cover?

LifeLine Europe covers France, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Greece and Ireland. Switch countries in settings and the entire app adapts — emergency numbers, phrase translations, and local procedures.

What is the constat amiable?

The constat amiable is France's official accident report form (European Accident Statement). LifeLine Europe provides the only English-language interactive guide to all 15 boxes on this form, including circumstances, impact points, and a sketch canvas.

How much does LifeLine Europe cost?

LifeLine Europe is free to download. The Standard plan costs £8.99 per month (or £79.99/year). The Motorhomer plan costs £12.99 per month, £119 per year, or £29.99 for a 90-day Trip Pass. A Premium plan is coming soon.

Does LifeLine Europe work offline?

Yes. The core emergency tools work without an internet connection — emergency calling, phrase cards, document viewing, bystander mode, and the constat amiable guide. Live features such as journey sharing need a signal.

What is Bystander Mode?

Bystander Mode displays your name, blood type, allergies, medications, and emergency contacts in the local language on a full screen. If a local-speaking stranger finds your phone while you are incapacitated, they can read your medical details and call 112 immediately.

What is the lone worker check-in feature?

The lone worker check-in is a configurable timer (15 minutes to 4 hours). If you do not respond to the check-in prompt, an alarm sounds. If still no response, your emergency contact receives an SMS with your What3Words location. A full audit trail is maintained for employer compliance.

How does LifeLine Europe help with workplace accidents?

LifeLine Europe covers nine incident types with step-by-step bilingual guidance through the French déclaration d'accident du travail (DAT), certificat médical initial (CMI), and feuille d'accident du travail.

How do I call an ambulance in France if I do not speak French?

Dial 112, the European emergency number, and ask for SAMU (medical). LifeLine Europe's one-tap SOS dials 112 automatically and shows your medical details in French for paramedics. If you cannot speak or hear, text 114, France's official emergency SMS service, directly from the app.

Is there an English version of the constat amiable?
