The problem Her Care solves

Women safety is of paramount importance in today's society

• Women nowadays are not safe to travel at night or in less urban areas due to various criminal activities.
• If they are threatened there is no single platform which they can use for help.
• There are a few applications to help them but none are very reliable.
• The people the woman will most look out for help is her close ones and the police.
• Our application helps solve this basic necessity which every girl should have.

Our Solution

• We have developed an SOS Platform to help women when they are in distress: “Her Care”.
• The project consists of one mobile app and an web dashboard.
• Users/Women can use the app to send an SOS to the police and all their emergency contacts when feel threatened/distressed.
• The police can view all the SOS alerts on the web dashboard.
• The emergency contacts will receive the SOS in the form of a SMS with their coordinates.

Challenges we ran into

• While adding the feature of Hardware Buttons in the Android app it was not working properly. It took us a lot of time to understand that the reason it was not working properly was that many mobiles did not allow third party apps to listen to hardware buttons. Hence it was working on some devices but not in others. On Xiaomi and Redmi mobiles it was especially not working.
• In the Web Dashboard implementing Google Sign-In was resulting in some unforseen error. We fixed it but after a lot of brainstorming and using online resources.
