Abstract

Abstract:  

In an era where personal safety is a growing concern, especially among vulnerable populations such as the elderly and individuals with disabilities, the PanicGuard+ project presents an innovative solution. Our team has developed a technologically advanced panic button system designed to provide swift, reliable, and user-friendly emergency assistance. Through a comprehensive and iterative design process, PanicGuard+ integrates smart sensors, seamless communication features, and a user-centric interface, ensuring that users can quickly and easily signal for help in critical situations. The device is in the final stages of implementation, showing promising results from initial testing phases. This paper outlines the key design methodologies, experimental procedures, and results obtained thus far, while also exploring future plans for field trials, user feedback integration, and strategic partnerships aimed at widespread adoption.
