Do you often feel that you will be left unattended on an isolated road after an accident? Do you lose sleep when one of your family members leaves home in a car or a bike worrying that when they are in trouble you will not know it and hence, won’t be able to help them?
The “Safe” app is exactly for such situations.
When you are driving on the road, even when you think that you’re 100% careful, you can never be sure of the other drivers who can be reckless or simply distracted. Accidents happen. Many times, accident victims have been lying on the road, trapped inside their vehicles, for days, without anyone knowing about their whereabouts.
Thousands of people die every year on road accidents and many such casualties can be avoided if timely help can be provided to the injured. Every second count after the accident.
The “Safe” app takes over the task of broadcasting an emergency alert the moment your mobile phone detects an abnormal situation. This abnormal situation can be a sudden shock, quick shaking or your vehicle coming to a sudden stop. It uses an inbuilt algorithm to track your movement. The same algorithm can detect a state of accident.
When the app detects an accident-type situation, it starts ringing to check if you are conscious and active. If you don’t answer within 30 seconds, it broadcasts an alert notification to all the people you have entered as your emergency contact. It also sends out your location coordinates so that your loved ones and emergency services can reach you as quickly as possible. The SOS message can also include information like your blood type and allergies.
A great thing about the “Safe” app is that it doesn’t require a higher-end mobile phone. It uses the current features of all medium-range mobile phones such as GPS location tracking, accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer. Simply download the mobile app, install it on your mobile phone, enter the information specific to you and your vehicle, and you are set to go.
The main features of the “Safe” app include
• Send out automatic alerts when something abnormal detected.
• Speed detection.
• Accident detection.
• Ability to send manual alert notification.
• Include location coordinates in the notification.
• Ability to view the location of vulnerable/unsafe users (kids, for example, or the elderly).
Provided you have the “Safe” app, you don’t need any other gadget or fitting inside your vehicle. Install the app and it uses the existing capabilities of your mobile phone.
When you are about to begin your journey, activate the app and it starts tracking your movements. It can detect normal speed. You can use it when driving your car, riding your bike or even your bicycle.
You can install the app on the mobile phone of every family member.
During the setup, you can enter all the emergency contact numbers. These numbers can belong to your friends, guardians and family members. You will especially feel reassured when you use this mobile app with younger family members.
