Swifter

Inspiration

The inspiration behind swift came from our front-end developer who, on his way back to his dorm found himself in a dangerous situation. Four armed men approached him from his car and demanded for his belongings. Understandably shaken he ran away and instinctively tried to reach out to his mom for help, but he wasn't quick enough to call her. This inability to quickly and discreetly alert those who matter most is an all-too-common issue in emergency situations.

To address this problem, we developed an app that would provide a fast, one-tap way to contact emergency services and update close emergency contacts with the details of the situation. This way, those who need help can be assured that someone is always informed and ready to assist.

What it does

Swifter connects you to the people you need. People from emergency providers to your closest friends are only one call away.

How we built it

Next.js, CSS Tailwind, and TypeScript React hooks for interactivity T-Mobile Network with Code for location AWS Bedrock for AI services SMS messaging with Vonage

Challenges we ran into

Integrating SDKs and APIs Working with Github and dependencies

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to create a project without disagreements We were able to use one of the SDKs without assistance

What we learned

The security that comes with SMS services Restrictions can help create ideas Redbull gives you wings to fly through the night

What's next for Swift Link

We still have a long way to go working to broaden the scope of our project. We envision connecting to home/external technologies in order to support the user in better ways.
