Inspiration
In today's fast paced and unpredictable world, individuals find themselves in situations where they urgently need assistance but the sitation might me more miserable and the individual cannot reach out the right person for help. General methods of seeking help, such as making phone calls or sending text messages, can be time-consuming and impractical during emergencies. This is particularly true in scenarios where every second counts, such as medical emergencies, personal safety threats, or when one is lost in an unknown location.
What it does
Our project, OnePress, addresses this critical need by offering a efficient and user-friendly solution.OnePress enables users to send an emergency alert to all members of predefined groups with just a single click. Upon activation, the app sends a notification to the user's friends, family, or any designated group member, along with the user’s precise location, facilitating immediate understanding of the situation.
How we built it
We built a Flutter based app for cross-platform compatibility and leveraging Firebase for robust backend storage and real-time data handling
Challenges we ran into
We tried to integrate MongoDB database but we are not able to connect it due to lack of time. So we overcomed this challenge by using FireBase and successfully done it. While implementing FireBase we ran into dependency errors and were able to debug it.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Building the application inside 24 hour period.
What we learned
We learned using flutter with firebase and building a real time project.
What's next for OnePress
Our future Plans is to improve a well developed mobile app for this and increasing the efficiency of database. Adding more elements. We also need to improve the notifications section.
