Health Informatics Hackathon,School of Computing-UoN winning project 2016
Feeling dizzy or and you may go unconscious, just tap/hold the volume Button of your phone.
The app listens to taps on the volume button so that to respond to Emergencies.
Tapping is not a complex task, which in the event of realising coming of an attack, you can tap easily ,even if phone is locked.
If screen is locked, The user can launch a panic message by tapping the volume button. This then displays a message for the patients first aid procedure. A nearby person ,alerted by the alarm activated can use this procedure.
If accidentally the user launches the distress call, the following screen appears, and through it, a user can contact the next of kin specified and notifies them of their wellness. This cancels false alarms
If the patient suffers an attack,and the panic alert is not a false alarm, using the coordinates sent by the application, one can go to the location of the distress call which shows where patient was at.
