Emergency response at a tap of a button! The Panic Help app allows you to panic when you are in an emergency and will notify the closest responder to attend to your situation. Personal safety is a priority for all. We all value our loved ones and unfortunately we live in a world where at some point we might face life threatening situations. To ensure they are protected should this occur, we offer a quality, on-demand and on-the-go security service using advancements in mobile technology. We designed a solution that links you to qualified responders, to assist in your moment of need without unnecessary delays, to save critical time in life threatening situations. When you are in trouble, we know that there is no time to first receive a call from a call center that will still need to call the nearest qualified responder from a limited pool linked to that call center. Rather, we immediately notify and route the nearest responder from any of our partner companies to you. All responders are benchmarked on their response times and rated by you, the alerter, to help us guarantee that we’ll always be ready to answer your call and assist you when you need it most. Note: While using the app, the GPS will run even if the app is minimized. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Close the app to prevent this.

About

DJOLT

Features
Read full description

DJOLT is built for the maritime, cruise, and yachting industries but adapts seamlessly to a variety of onshore settings. Designed to deliver high-priority alerts directly to your device within a local network, DJOLT eliminates the need for uninterrupted internet access, ensuring reliability in environments where connectivity may be limited. DJOLT operates with a locally installed DJOLT Server, using Local Push Connectivity, to ensure alert delivery even if the app is closed or running in the background. Supported Features: - View active and historical alerts, with timestamps for received and acknowledged alerts. - Acknowledge alerts within the app or by long-pressing a banner notification. - On/Off Duty setting to manage availability. - Critical Alerts that bypass Silent Mode, preventing missed notifications for high-priority situations. - Acknowledge and silence an alert for all recipients when acknowledged by a single user. - Adjustable alert volume. - Test notifications for setup verification. While optimized for maritime use, DJOLT’s on-premises functionality makes it equally effective for industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and security systems, supporting reliable oversight and timely response to critical situations.
