SMART PANIC BUTTON USING IOT
The increasing need for rapid emergency response systems has led to the development of intelligent safety solutions. This paper presents a Smart Panic Button system based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology, designed to provide immediate assistance during critical situations. The proposed system enables users to trigger an alert by pressing a panic button, which instantly sends real-time notifications to predefined contacts and emergency services through a cloud-based platform. The system integrates a microcontroller, GPS module, and wireless communication technologies to transmit the user’s precise location along with the distress signal. Additionally, a mobile or web application interface is developed to monitor alerts and manage user data efficiently. The solution ensures low latency, reliability, and ease of use, making it suitable for individuals in vulnerable situations such as medical emergencies, personal safety threats, or accidents. By leveraging IoT connectivity, the Smart Panic Button enhances response time and improves the effectiveness of emergency assistance systems. The proposed model is cost-effective, scalable, and adaptable for real-world deployment, contributing to improved public safety and security.
