Abstract

Even in this increasingly connected age, personal safety is still of utmost importance. A smartphone software called Suraksha Sathi makes use of cutting-edge technology to improve user safety. Its SOS function uses geolocation to determine the precise location of users, facilitating prompt replies from people and emergency agencies. It is built using flutter and dart and includes REST APIs for data sharing, location services APIs, and Google Maps. The development environment is Visual Studio, while Firebase securely maintains user accounts and data. Suraksha Sathi, an iOS and Android compatible app, offers comfort and support during emergencies. A section on mental health, preventing suicide, and help-seeking behavior is included in the study. In an emergency, the software can notify contacts and law enforcement by text message (SMS) about the user’s position, guaranteeing timely aid. Personal safety has emerged as a top priority in today’s world, particularly in light of the rising frequency of emergencies and erratic circumstances. Mobile technology has developed in response to this, providing people in need of quick assistance with real-time solutions. An inventive SOS app called “Suraksha Sathi” gives users a quick and simple way to notify contacts and emergency services when they are in danger, hence improving personal safety. This study discusses how Suraksha Sathi intends to transform personal safety through its clever design and accessibility, outlining its salient features, benefits, and technological foundation.
