BrilliSoft's New Mobile App, Shake For Help, Could Save Your Life
When you need help, Shake For Help uses patent-pending technology to reach emergency contacts with very little effort. It is perfect in situations where it’s not possible or practical to dial the authorities and explain your situation to them. Unlike other security apps, you don’t need to launch it, tap buttons on the screen, or try to remember what to do.
Scottsdale, AZ, July 26, 2013 --(PR.com)-- BrilliSoft recently published an Android app in the Google Play Store that could very well save your life. It turns your Android phone into the ultimate security device.
When you need help, Shake For Help (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shakeforhelp) uses patent-pending technology to reach emergency contacts with very little effort. It is perfect in situations where it’s not possible or practical to dial the authorities and explain your situation to them. Unlike other security apps, you don’t need to launch it, tap buttons on the screen, or try to remember what to do.
Once you have installed and configured Shake For Help on your phone, if you’re ever in trouble, all you need to do is shake your phone. That’s it... The app does the rest. It will periodically contact emergency contacts and let them know you may be in trouble. It will also let them know where you are and send them other useful information.
For example, if someone is following you, trying to break into your home, threatening you, trying to sexually assault you, or if you need medical help, dialing a number on your phone is not always an option. With this app, all you need to do is briefly shake your smartphone and it will let your emergency contacts know that you need help.
“Considering the very real and common threat of assault on women when they venture outside, the ability to reach out for help instantly makes me feel safer. I feel empowered and have some peace of mind when I leave home, with this additional ‘weapon’ in my mobile device!” said Valierie Jee, a college student.
Shake For Help has been designed to be extremely simple to use. Young children and elderly users will have no problem configuring the app. It takes a minute or two, even for the technologically-challenged. The configuration process is simple and has step-by-step instructions, in simple English (more languages will be added soon).
Once the app has been configured, you never need to launch it again. It will run in the background, listening for a shake trigger if you are ever in trouble. It will then send out the necessary distress signals, along with useful information, such as your location and battery level, to get you the help you need. It will continue doing so, periodically, until you stop it. It will also vibrate regularly to let you know that it’s sending out distress signals.
“I feel comfortable knowing that my kids have the app installed on their phones and can simply shake it if they feel threatened, on the playground, when out with their friends, or walking home from school!” said Nikolas Kairinos, CEO of BrilliSoft, the developer of the app, explaining why they chose to develop such an app. He added that “It makes perfect sense for mobile devices to be used as security devices, as they are location-aware and with us 24/7.”
The app is also useful for medical emergencies. Consider an elderly person with a heart condition: if they are alone and feel intense chest pains, all they need to do is briefly shake their device. It takes a lot less time than trying to call someone to explain that something is wrong and tell them where you are. This app could increase the odds of surviving medical emergencies.
“The Shake For Help application continues Extentia’s commitment to innovation and the need to deliver genuine value to our communities,” said Umeed Kothavala, CEO, Extentia, which worked with BrilliSoft to bring this app to market. “This application has been designed with inputs from real users who might need it in the real world. Women on lonely streets, senior citizens at home, and tourists in unfamiliar environments, will now have an unparalleled tool that gives them security, access to help in emergencies, and the ability to be independent. All that packed into a simple, single application that will run on your phone.”
The Google Play Store description has more information about many of the features built into the app to make it effective and practical. For instance, the app includes features to prevent accidental distress signals being sent out (if the user shakes the device by mistake). It also silences the device when an emergency situation has been triggered, so that the attacker is not made aware of its presence or that it’s sending out distress signals.
With Shake For Help installed on your Android device, if you’re ever in trouble, just shake your phone and help will be on the way.
