Future Of Emergency Safety Apps

The purpose of the project is to develop an Android app that lets its users send notifications in case of an emergency or a panic situation. The users can send multiple textual content messages with the press of a single button or by shaking the device or when the user is in intense motion with the phone on them. The phone numbers or contacts can be set from within the application. The textual content messages sent, along with the content, also have the last known location of the user. This is very useful in tracking the whereabouts of the person. The user can also call emergency helpline numbers directly from the application if the nature of the scenario demands it by pressing a button. Additionally, the user of the application may allow the app to track their location. If this option is selected, the application fetches the device’s location data. This information is very beneficial and can be used in a variety of ways. One such use of the location data is from within the Android app where the user can view a map. It doesn’t store the location of the user, therefore it cannot be used for malpractices.
