Abstract
Safety of women and elderly individuals must be ensured in emergencies to maintain the social balance. This objective effectively attained with a fast and reliable alert system implemented as a mobile application. Yet, existing alert systems have many challenges, such as high energy consumption and reduced accessibility. This paper proposes Guardian Alert, a one-tap emergency assistance system developed to provide immediate help in distress scenarios. The system combines a mobile application and wearable smartwatch device to enable real-time voice-activated SOS alerts, live location tracking, automatic audio/video recording, and AI-based threat detection. It immediately alerts law enforcement, emergency medical services (EMS), pre-set emergency contacts, and local responders upon activation. The system also provides emergency medical assistance services, linking users to local hospitals for immediate medical care, telemedicine support, and ambulance dispatch. To improve accessibility and dependability, the system uses cloud-based data storage, GPS, and IoT connectivity. An intelligent monitoring algorithm detects abnormal movement patterns, voice stress levels, and sudden health emergencies such as falls or cardiac irregularities, and triggers alerts if the user cannot activate the system manually. This model provides a secure, efficient, and user-friendly safety solution, empowering vulnerable individuals with instant access to security and medical assistance.
