It allows users to share vital information including location with designated contacts and/or public safety dispatch centers in just seconds. It can easily be configured for communities/groups to use among friends and family members or for professional use within an organization. The color-coded, 3-buttons (green, amber and red) represent equivalent levels of emergency, allowing users to share location, audio, video, and user bio in real-time (seconds not minutes). Additionally, one can opt in to share vital data through health sensors. Each button can be configured to share the following from any smartphone: GPS, microphone, speaker, camera, mute phone, text to 911 or other designated numbers.
