Elderly person needs a simple panic button to summon help

How it works

A smart panic button for the infirm, that can be set up in a small number of different ways to cater for different wants and the changing needs of the elderly.

Set up by the user who selects by options, a range of conditions, something like:

  1. If the user"
    • Falls Over
    • Shouts a predefined word to it, eg "Help"
  2. and fails to cancel the alarm within x seconds via
    • shouting a predefined word to it, eg "Forget It", or
    • tapping a button x times, y seconds apart
  3. Then the Pebble will ...
    • Text (a list of phone numbers),
    • Email/msg (list of email addresses, my twitter account, facebook account),
    • "Dial a phone number"
    • "Sound an alarm here"

Challenges I ran into

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

What I learned

  1. How bad this website is.
