About this app
Features of the Prakash app:
1. Usage of accelerometer sensor to detect emergency in case of accidents and women safety (in case of ultra sensitive mode just shaking of device leads to triggering of emergency mode).
2. Usage of temperature sensor to detect emergencies like fire breakout , electric short circuit.
3. In case of emergencies we provide 3 types of feedback for rescue parties to locate the person in danger . We give out audio signals via a distinct tone which is hard to miss , we give out visual signals by making the flash light blink , we give out bluetooth LE signal by making our device a beacon so that when rescue party is near they can detect our beacon via our app and locate the person accurately. While finding beacons, 2 voices come, low frequency pleasant voice when coming closer and unpleasant voice while getting farther.
4. User is asked to save emergency contacts who will be sent a message with position details like the accurate latitude , longitude , elevation of user. The emergency contact is also given the nearest hospital , blood bank and police station details in the sms itself. So in case they cannot find the victim or medical emergency at the location they can reach out to them for help .
All 3 signals are activated automatically if the app detects a sudden change in user speed , sudden change in elevation , sudden change in temperature .
5. App also send a message to emergency contacts if user does not close the alarm in 120 seconds .
6. We Provide 3 modes for sensors , normal , low , ultra sensitive . When ultra sensitive mode is enabled user can use the app to inform their closed ones and people around by simply shaking their device .
7. We have used USGS API for detection of earthquake.
8. Face Recognition : In case someone finds person injured or in a bad position they can click a picture and our face recognition functionality will identify that person from our database and give you an option to create emergency .
9. Incase a user sees a fatality happen in front of him or experiences problems like food shortage ,water shortage , electricity supply cut , Sewage problem, Shelter problem they can log a complaint .
10. Organisations can view the location from where these complaints were made from a heat map and plan rescue operations accordingly , also people can help people in the affected area easily .
11. The complaints are made via ethereum blockchain so that no single entity can delete them , the whole world can see these complaints and their status .(You need the public key and private key of your account for it.)
12. If a user does not have an ethereum account he/she can register complaint which would be stored on our firebase database .
