The new panic buttons have key features designed for business applications.

It is not tied to any specific service. You can establish a response center in your corporation, at the hospital, in your school, or hotel. Historically, panic buttons were used for medical emergencies in the home. These panic button systems were generally tied to a specific emergency answering service that helped to verify and provide emergency response.  Here’s how the new mobile panic buttons are used in business, schools and commercial organizations.

How the Mobile Panic Buttons Works

Panic Button System Concept

The mobile panic button connects to your smartphone through a Bluetooth connection. To establish the link, you download the app from Google or Apple. Once the app is downloaded, it helps you pair the Panic button to your phone. It also allows you to establish a connection to your security response center.

Once the system is connected to your cell phone, it provides a quick response to any situation. The panic button is activated by triple-clicking the button. A phone connection is then established to your security center. They can listen to what’s happening and see precisely where you are located. They can determine what the situation is and then send emergency help. Two-way audio is provided through the panic button so you can talk directly to your safety response center and clarify your situation. Your location is provided through the smartphones GPS locating service.

Push and hold the panic button, and it provides an entirely different function. The “Push and hold” function allows you to react to non-emergency situations. You can fake a phone call to get out of a meeting or find an excuse to leave a hostile environment.  It also allows you to send a text message to a designated person providing a quick way to react to unique situations.

An important feature of the mobile panic button is the “Walking Escort Function.” The tracking and timing feature allows you to automatically set an automated alert if you exceed the amount of time required to reach your destination. For example, if you need to walk to your vehicle, you can set the timer. If you don’t reset the function, it will automatically send an emergency alert to your safety center. The system provides a virtual escort to the parking lot, subway station, or even your next appointment.

The safety center can be designated as a “911” call or your organization’s safety center. When the response center receives an emergency alert, the software provides the name of the person, the location of the call, and details about the person calling. This can include medical information as well as the emergency contact person. The school can use its safety center, establish an emergency center or use their administrative office to handle the alerts. The hospital can assign its security center and other location depending on the organization. This emergency help request system provides options that fit all the organization’s safety requirements.
