An elderly neighbor falls in the garden and can’t get up. Someone needs medicine from the pharmacy. Urgent medical help is needed at the scene of a car crash. A couple of hikers get stuck on a mountain. A young woman is under attack in a dark city street.
These, and similar situations, require people with an open heart; ready to help another human being in distress – a True Hero!
Our Heroes are people from all backgrounds and walks of life bound by selflessness, warm-heartedness and good character.
Be a hero and make your city a better, safer place to live. A place where people help and care for each other. Our everyday Heroes and stories of their heroics will be published on our blog and serve as an inspiration for others to step up.
As a Hero you can choose what type of calls you want to receive. Your risk level and type of emergency, or situation, that you are willing to respond to is up to you.
Of course, even the Hero can sometimes get into trouble and need the app to call for help. It is good to do good. Sign Up Today!
Only a parent knows the worries you have about your children and the need to know that they are safe. Parent Heroes not only protect and help their children, but everyone. All children are their children and they set a good example and raise new Heroes. Teachers too, who care about their students, can be at their disposal in difficult situations.
It is natural for professionals like policemen, firemen, members of rescue teams, soldiers, veterans, sportsmen and martial artists to become Heroes, using their knowledge and skill sets to help others in the community.
Good, selfless, open-hearted men and women who are ready to help another human being in distress become Heroes and come to the aid of their fellow citizens and loved ones in emergency situations.
It’s simple! After downloading the Qdrome App, click on your Action Profile and sign up. We will ask you to send a photo of a personal document to confirm your identity. We respect your privacy and your personal details will not be shared. This data is solely for the sake of greater security for the community.

A Hero or Responder is someone who has been verified by us or a Group (an organization, association..) as being of good character and willing to help, sometimes with excellent practical skills.
The Qdrome app can be set to only receive calls that require medical assistance. On the screen of your Action profile mark that you want to only receive medical calls.
Yes. We have described some of the possible situations and procedures in the article What to consider when responding to an S.O.S. call.
When you receive a broadcast, you will see the details of the person calling without their location. After accepting the call, you will see a map with the exact location of the person calling for help.
In less stressful and easier situations, almost everyone can help (eg help the elderly to get up, walk someone home or go to a pharmacy for someone etc.). In dangerous and stressful situations you can also be helpful in many ways. It is not always necessary to interfere. For example, you can call the police or other emergency services and give a detailed description of the situation. Very often the arrival of someone at the scene can distract the attacker from their intentions.
Yes, of course. The Broadcast that you receive will contain a description of the situation, as well as a danger level. There are three levels:
It is up to you to decide which Broadcast you want to respond to.
Yes, you will receive a push notification. Clicking the notification will open the app.
