How SOSBoom Works



SOSBoom helps patients and providers connect through a simple, action-based process. There are no listings to browse and no cold outreach required.


For Patients

  1. Post a Care Request
  2. Patients describe what they need help with, including:
    • the type of care
    • their location
    • the timeframe they’re seeking help
    Requests are submitted anonymously.
  3. Providers Are Notified
  4. Verified providers who match the request receive a notification.
    Providers are never required to respond.
  5. Providers Respond If Available
  6. Providers who are able to help choose to respond with their contact information.
    There is no obligation for patients to follow up with every response.
  7. You Choose Who to Contact
  8. Patients review responses and decide who they would like to connect with directly.
    SOSBoom does not interfere with the conversation.

For Providers

  1. Create and Verify a Profile
  2. Providers create a profile outlining:
    • profile availability
    • service area
    • their keywords
    Verification helps ensure quality and relevance.
  3. Receive Matching Requests
  4. When a patient posts a request that matches a provider’s criteria, it appears in their inbox or is seen on the platform itself.
    Providers are not listed publicly and do not receive spam.
  5. Respond on Your Terms
  6. Providers respond only when they are able and interested.
    Each response is intentional and opt-in.
  7. Connect Directly
  8. Once a provider responds, patients receive the provider’s contact information and choose whether to follow up.
    SOSBoom does not schedule appointments or provide medical advice.
