Guardian Angel: An Innovative Mobile Application for Rapid Accident Notification and Emergency Response
Keywords:
Accident, Alert, Emergency, GPS, Mobile applicationAbstract
The conceptual design and consequences of a groundbreaking mobile application that is intended to drastically improve reaction times and outcomes following road accidents drastically are discussed in this study. Taking into account that injuries and fatalities might be gravely exacerbated by delayed intervention, this application takes advantage of the smartphone technology that is easily available in order to provide emergency services and pre-designated contacts with information that is immediate, exact, and crucial. The user has the option of manually triggering notifications, but the primary role of the system is to automatically detect accidents by utilizing the sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, and GPS) that are included in smartphones. These sensors are used to identify sudden impacts or changes in motion that are suggestive of a crash. The application is designed to immediately transmit essential data, such as the user’s identity, the precise GPS location, pre-configured medical information (including allergies, conditions, and blood type), and details about who should be contacted in the event of an emergency. This information will be sent directly to personal emergency contacts as well as to emergency dispatch centers (for instance, 911 or 112) as soon as the application detects that an emergency is occurring. The goal of this system is to circumvent the often-delayed human element of accident reporting, giving a proactive solution that increases the survival rates of victims, reduces the number of serious injuries, and improves the allocation of essential emergency resources.
