Great podcast Thomas as usual

Great podcast Thomas as usual. I wonder though if the average medical personnel would know that since voiceover is turned on they would need to double-tap the medical id that is on the lock screen as opposed to the single tap that sighted people would do.

Educating Where You Can

Hi Kerby,

Unfortunately, as this is only a guess, but I'd imagine most first responders probably would be totally confused but I can only hope that someone has seen something like this and knows what to do. My kids know a few EMTs and I was so glad to hear that they showed them how to use the device with VoiceOver on. It’s all about educating and spreading the word.

Glad to hear that you enjoyed the cast!
