Android Application for Emergency Helpline Services

When an emergency occurs, technology can be a helpful support for the resolution of the said incident. This paper proposes the development of an Android application for a quick access to the phone numbers of the emergency helpline services of the respective emergencies. Due to the sudden technological advancements made in the recent years, gathering and transmission of relevant information related to the emergency can be made ever so simple. Modern mobile devices embedded with useful sensors such as GPS receivers, Wi-Fi etc. can help the user in many ways. This system works by creating a digital template of the user which can be sent to their trusted contacts in case of an emergency. This helps the responding team to better equip for the necessary circumstances. Such a system will also allow notification to be sent that alerts your family and friends (trusted contacts) under such unfortunate circumstances.
