Blyzko

Guide: messages from Blyzko

Your family has set up Blyzko so they know every morning that you’re fine. You don’t need to set anything up. Just press one button.

The bot writes in Ukrainian or Russian, so the buttons are shown here just as they look on screen, with the English in brackets. This guide is also available in Ukrainian and in Russian.

  1. Every morning a message arrives

    In Telegram, at the same time each day. The bot asks: “Good morning! How are you today?”

    My time:

  2. If you’re fine

    Press the green button Усе добре (I’m fine). That’s all. Your family will see your answer.

  3. If you feel unwell or frightened

    Press Потрібна допомога (I need help). Your family gets a message straight away. This button works around the clock.

    The bot sends you a 🚑 Швидка (ambulance) button: press it and the phone dials the number for you.

    Then the bot offers Показати, де я (show where I am). Press it if you can: that way they’ll find you faster.

  4. When it’s time to take your medicine

    The bot writes which medicine to take. Take it and press Прийняла (taken). Your family will see that all is well.

  5. If you’re going away or into hospital

    Tell your family. They’ll pause the bot so it doesn’t raise the alarm for nothing.

  6. If you don’t want to get messages

    Send the bot one word: стоп (stop).

If you need urgent help, call 103 or 112 straight away.

Your phone’s built-in SOS

It calls 112 and texts your location to the people saved as emergency contacts. On newer phones it also works via satellite when there’s no signal. Ask your family to set it up with you.

iPhone: press and hold the side button and a volume button, or press the side button quickly five times. You turn it on in Settings → Emergency SOS. Family members are added in the Health app → Medical ID.

Android: press the power button quickly five times. You turn it on in Settings → Safety & emergency → Emergency SOS.
