TEAM-50 PIET PERSONAL SAFETY APPP
At any emergency situation people get panicked and, in that situation, they may not be
able to operate their smartphone applications, and cannot immediately defend the
attacker and protect themselves. The proposed system can be useful for women and
children for security purpose. It consists of a wearable safety device having sensors and
an emergency button which when activated sends an alert message with location
information to the victim's family and nearby police station. When confronting a
potential life- threatening situation such as kidnapping, mugging or even robbery, the
victim has very little time gap to think of the best way to escape from the situation.
However, requesting for help is the most instant procedure for the victim to think of
during the critical situation. In light of rapid concern of safety issue, mobile apps
implementation may be extended into personal safety procedures.

1.2 MOTIVATION
Everybody wants to be independent but what stops them to be carefree? The answer
to above question is their security. This is a very important issue to discuss and existing
application for security purpose is not enough as these applications may not be used by
victim due to a long operating procedure for requesting help.
The above situation gives rise to our main purpose that is ease of using security
application. We try to make an easy and friendly user interface which also provides
direct shortcuts for contacting emergency contacts. This is useful feature as it is less
time consuming for the victim to operate their device and ask for help.

1.4 SCOPE
⮚ As stated in the Introduction of the study, victims of a criminal situation
have problems of requesting help during these situations. Without the
ability to think fast, the victim would be unable to think of any relevant way
of escaping the potentially life threatening situation.
⮚ Calling for help using the mobile devices would be almost impossible if the
victims were involved in a kidnapping situation. Therefore, this study will be
focusing on the solution for requesting help during these critical situations.
⮚ Users’ perspective regarding the implementation of mobile application
towards personal safety. With the significant rise in technological
development of mobile application, the author will take a closer look
regarding the implementation of mobile devices in the issue of personal
safety. This initiative will make use of the data collected via the literature
review and other research methodology planned later for the research
process.
⮚ Review and analysis of the existing mobile application for personal safety
purpose.
⮚ We will also focus on identifying the essential attributes for a personal
safety mobile application to be effective towards the user and compare the
4 proposed idea of the study with other related studies of the
implementation of mobile application toward personal safety.

[2] Mobile applications addressing violence against women: a systematic review BMJ
Glob Health: first published as 10.1136/bmjgh-2019-001954 on 22 April 2020. D
Violence towards girls (VAW) is a prime global health trouble and a gross violation of girls’s
human rights that influences a couple of-1/3 of the worldwide female populace.1 It does now
not spare any geographical area, ethnicity, age or social magnificence.2 Eliminating VAW is
pivotal to gain gender equality and girls’s empowerment globally (Sustainable Development
Goal 5).Three 4 In the beyond years, cell programs have started to benefit importance in the
fight in opposition to such violence.5 6 The presumed common intention of those apps is to
help sufferers, bystanders, and/or medical examiners put in force distinct prevention or
reaction techniques. Notably, the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women
supports the development and use of cellular technology as gear inside the response to VAW in
its general advice no. 35.7
However, to date, there has been no systematic evaluate of such apps that is not confined to
apps regarding personal safety5 or rape 6 copyright. On March 12, 2022 at India:BMJ-PG

As defined with the aid of the WHO, mHealth is an area of electronic health that offers health
services and records to each affected person populations and healthcare carriers via cell
technologies consisting of mobile telephones, mainly smartphones.11 Although the definition

[4]The Development of ISafe Mobile Application Using Messaging and GPS System:
Received 28 July 2021; Accepted 16 September 2021; Available online 30 November
2021
In nowadays’s virtual age, cell technology gives a completely unique possibility to supply
improved sexualized violence interventions and sources.Research indicates that ninety five% of
adults between the a while of 18 and 34 within the United States personal a cellular
phone.Further, cellular technology as state-of-the-art as smartphones are extensively used
round the world: 95% in South Korea, 88% in Israel, 81% in Australia, 80% in Spain, with a mean
international ownership of telephone technology of seventy six% . Te extant literature has
more often than not centered on the approaches that cellular apps may be used for health and
ftness [1, 15, 16]. Tere has these days, however, been hobby in coming across the capability of
the usage of phone technology to assist enhance girls’s protection. A latest assessment at the
function of rising technology regarding women’s protection located that smartphones were the
most usually discussed protective era inside the literature (37.2% mobile telephones, 18.Eight%
apps). Smartphones may be used to call for help in emergencies, flm violence
incidents/injuries, maintain threatening text messages, and use apps to contact help networks.
Another look at found that sixty two.9% of college college students could don't forget
downloading a non-public safety app, and even more students could remember doing so if the
app contained a tracking characteristic. Women had been also observed to be more likely than
men to down load a protection app with tracking functions to growth their sense of security
and reassurance. Overall, the proliferation of technological answers for sexualized violence
such as sign-/alarm-emitting wearables and apps have surged in latest years. Specifc to
sexualized violence, qualitative proof indicates that generation can provide get entry to to
statistics and services, make stronger support networks, and aid sexualized violence sufferers in
their protection and break out making plans. An Australian overview observed that safety apps
for public stranger violence targeted particularly on region-based offerings, non-public alarms,
and crowd-sourced facts. This overview identifed MySafetyPin, Saven, and My Keeper as
beneficial protection apps allowing users to discover dangerous areas, and the Women Safety
Totem SOS app for offering facts to assist reduce the probability of being a goal for violence
and suggestions on the way to deal with violence (e.G., self-defense information). Although
there are several studies which have explored protection apps regarding sexualized violence, a
preliminary look for present evaluations and protocols in MEDLINE, PROSPERO, and Open
Science Framework in January 2020 discovered that the findings regarding ladies’ reports and
Page 18 of 30
TEAM-50 PIET PERSONAL SAFETY APPP
perceptions of those apps has now not been comprehensively reviewed.
In nowadays society, women are not free from many security dangers. They are becoming a
smooth target for molesters, eve-teasers, and rapists [1]. The Malay Mail in 2017 suggested
that consistent with police information, from 2010 to March 2017, fifty seven,519 cases of
violence in opposition to ladies had been suggested. Subjects along with domestic violence and
crook cases beneath the Penal Code, involving girls as sufferers, as well as cases inclusive of
incest, molestation, unnatural crimes, and rape, stated Datuk Chew Mei Fun, Deputy Women,
Minister for Family and Community Development [2]. Nowadays, Women in this society will
face the problem in which it is tough for them to request help while confronting a probably
existence-threatening state of affairs that comes from any course consisting of ladies strolling
on the street alone after paintings, sexual harassment, and theft. Most of the present day
application additionally uses shake or vibrate to discover emergency alert, but once the phone
accidentally falls or get knocked, vibration is detected and it will cause an emergency alert and
sent SMS to emergency list.
However, maximum of them are required to purchase the software to experience more
functions consisting of area monitoring or GPS. The essential goals of this studies are to design
a protection machine apps the usage of an object-orientated approach based on messaging
and GPS structures, to increase a safety system application, and to check the developed
software. Scope of the initiatives are authentication, upload emergency contacts, add personal
statistics, exchange personal statistics, and sending a message. The anticipated end result of
this research is to delight security for every woman in which they are able to touch their
emergency contacts to the right people or circle of relatives individuals or buddies or helplines
each time they're in an undesirable situation by means of robotically sending a text message
that consists of the present day role of the victim using SOS carrier. The importance of the
project is users will enjoy a more sensible and quicker manner of asking for help by means of
using this mobile application because it implements the foremost minimal technique for help
asking for through the use of cell devices, best take short time to ship an alert message to keep
away from any misfortunes and take less time to achieve the contacts.

3.1 Conclusion
It can be concluded that our App provides a safe and secure environment to the people in the
society, and allows them to live freely. Anyone before doing any crime against the anyone will
be deterred and it help reducing the crime rate. This application will act like a weapon that will
ensure the safety and security which works on the Smartphone with the android operating
system. With further research and innovation, our project can be implemented on a small
wearable device like watch, pendent, wristband which will be build using GPS and GSM
modules. On triggering this system the GPS data will acquired by the GPS module and will
encoded into a valid Google maps link and send through text messages to enlisted family,
friends. In future will work on designing it more secure for decreasing the crimes at the lowest
level. Additionally, planning to introduce two unique features in this application. That is hidden
camera. As this is also a safety issue for women. Also identifying microphones. The method
which includes user can move his/her phone around doubtful area, if a strong field is detected,
user can be aware about hidden device that is secreted within the particular place. Another
feature needs to implement in future is marking the unsafe places. If any user faces felt that
place is unsafe, they can tag that place as unsafe zone. This helps another user who are in that
place. These features will make it more useful and reliable.
