Shake your phone to use it as an emergency safety device

PUNE, INDIA: SOS – Stay Safe! is an application by Extentia that turns Android smart phones into discreet personal safety devices. Using this mobile app, users can request for assistance during an emergency. With the rising demands for women safety across the country and all the preventive measures being taken by women, this SOS app is surely helpful to prevent mishaps.

Here's how it works in a Personal Emergency:

• On shaking the phone discreetly, or clicking the power button three times in succession, it sends:
  • An automatic SMS and/or an email to the user’s contacts with a name and a voice recording
  • The user’s exact location
  • The battery level of the phone
• These are sent at regular intervals to provide real time GPS tracking for the user’s location
• Messages are sent unnoticeably — without the user having to even look at the device
• Any ordinary phone can receive messages from this app

The app can be customized to meet specific requirements for corporate employing a substantial women workforce. This SOS app is useful for senior citizens also, and anyone who needs assistance in an urgent situation. It is designed to get help with minimal or unnoticeable effort.

Umeed Kothavala, CEO, Extentia said, “As we continue to witness rising crime against women, the SOS Stay Safe demonstrates the power of technology when an individual is confronted with a personal emergency.”

This mobile application was the runner-up at Manthan awards 2014, an annual award for South Asia given in recognition of exceptional digital content creation.
