The OnStar Guardian App can help in a crash or an emergency, supported by the same Emergency-Certified Advisors,<sup>2<\/sup> call handling and triage process.<\/p>\n<p><b>How it Works<\/b><br \/>\nMobile Crash Response with the OnStar Guardian App uses the smartphone\u2019s built-in sensors to detect a crash. This is similar to the OnStar hardware embedded in GM vehicles, which uses Automatic Crash Response<sup>3<\/sup> \u2014 built-in sensors in the vehicle \u2014 to alert Advisors to a crash.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2410 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/onstaronthejob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Unknown-scaled-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onstaronthejob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Unknown-scaled-1.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/onstaronthejob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Unknown-scaled-1-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/onstaronthejob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Unknown-scaled-1-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/onstaronthejob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Unknown-scaled-1-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/onstaronthejob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Unknown-scaled-1-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/onstaronthejob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Unknown-scaled-1-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/onstaronthejob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Unknown-scaled-1-1200x675.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/onstaronthejob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Unknown-scaled-1-1980x1114.jpeg 1980w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Connecting to Customers in a Crash<\/b><br \/>\nThe way OnStar Guardian communicates to customers depends on the mobile device\u2019s operating system.<sup>4<\/sup> When Mobile Crash Response alerts an OnStar Advisor, they will contact the Emergency Communications Center (ECC). If the customer reports injuries or does not respond, a second Advisor will be connected to provide assistance and will remain on the line until First Responders arrive.<\/p>\n<p><b>Public Safety Benefits<\/b><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2384\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2384\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2384\" src=\"https:\/\/onstaronthejob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/screenshot1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onstaronthejob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/screenshot1.png 611w, https:\/\/onstaronthejob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/screenshot1-300x271.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2384\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Actual photo of ANI\/ALI screen for the OnStar Guardian App from Wyandotte (Michigan) ECC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>OnStar understands the challenge First Responders face when responding to an emergency incident, including getting the right help to the right location. The OnStar Guardian App uses GPS satellite data to determine the caller\u2019s location.<\/p>\n<p>To help ECC personnel easily identify this new call type, we have worked with Intrado to modify the Automatic Number Identification (ANI)\/Automatic Location Identification (ALI) screen information. This modification identifies when the call originates from an OnStar-equipped vehicle versus the OnStar Guardian app. OnStar vehicle-based calls are identified as \u201cOnStar\u201d and Guardian App-originated calls will appear as \u201cOnStar Mobile User.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Crash Detection<\/b><br \/>\nThe app uses the smartphone\u2019s built-in sensors to detect a crash once a vehicle is traveling at or above a threshold speed for a specific amount of time, and is designed to recognize the unique pattern of a crash to alert an OnStar Advisor. This limits the chance of triggering a false Mobile Crash Response incident with a dropped smartphone.<\/p>\n<p><b>Guardian Emergency Assistance<\/b><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2385 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/onstaronthejob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/screenshot2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onstaronthejob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/screenshot2.jpg 649w, https:\/\/onstaronthejob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/screenshot2-300x219.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\nOnStar Guardian also offers a red SOS button with a priority connection to an OnStar Emergency-Certified Advisor. When a customer is uncertain what to do in a potential emergency, they can request emergency assistance for themselves or another in need of help. When the red SOS button is pressed, the app displays the message seen at right, suggesting that customers call 911 directly for life-threatening situations or providing the option to call OnStar Emergency or cancel the request.<\/p>\n<p>Please down<span id=\"inserted693\" style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><span id=\"inserted2233\" style=\"font-size: 16px;\">load the <a style=\"font-size: 16px;\" href=\"https:\/\/onstaronthejob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/12131_OnStar-GM-Mobile-App-Handout_110719_SM_v12.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0070c0; font-size: 16px;\"><u style=\"font-size: 16px;\">OnStar Guardian Public Safety Handout<\/u><\/span><\/a> for reference and share this information with your co-workers to stay up to date on OnStar\u2019s emergency services.
