Desarrollo de un botón de socorro en una plataforma móvil

Abstract

Insecurity in general has become one of the main problems of the city of Quito. There are several types of emergencies such as family abuse, child abuse, robbery in local stores, kidnappings, harassment, etc. On the other hand, the ineffectiveness of responding to emergency calls by the police has generated a constant insecurity effect on citizens both inside and outside their homes. Currently mobile devices have had a positive impact on our society, their use nowadays has no age limit, allowing easy adaptation to applications with unlimited purposes. The development of this work focuses on the safety of citizens in the city of Quito, and has as its main objective to improve the effectiveness of responding to emergency calls by developing a help button. The application is cross-platform and gives the user access from any smartphone. The system allows to make a emergency notification through an alert message to registered contacts. Personal information is stored in a database prepared for real-time transactions, which allows the information to be collected and displayed at any time, achieving agility and automation in the user interaction process.
