## What is HelpTap?

HelpTap: Your personal emergency assistant always at your fingertips.
Do you feel unsafe, threatened, or are you in a dangerous situation? With HelpTap, you can trigger an effective emergency call within seconds by simply removing your finger from the display.

Prevention through:
• Your emergency contacts are notified of your current location and that you need help.
• Your smartphone starts recording video from both cameras.
• A loud alarm sounds and a computer voice announces that the police have been notified (fake police call).
• The flashlight and display start flashing intensely to attract attention.

Immediate alarm:
A loud alarm sound deters attackers. At the same time, a computer voice announces that the police have been notified and that everything is being recorded.

Share location:
Your emergency contacts receive an alarm message with your location. This way, they know exactly where you are and that you need help.

Visible deterrent:
Your display and flashlight flash rapidly, making you stand out and discouraging attackers.

Dual camera recording:
Your smartphone films everything, documenting the entire situation. This is extremely important if evidence is needed later.

Easy activation:
Just lift your finger from the screen and the alarm is activated. Simple, fast, and straightforward.
