MOBILE EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS: COMPARISON STUDY ON EXISTING APPLICATIONS

Raluca REPANOVICI, Anisor NEDELCU

Abstract


Many events have occurred over time that have jeopardized people's safety. In the past, traditional security measures were used to deal with similar scenarios, but they proved ineffective and unreliable. Many people have become victims, primarily because they were able to get help in an emergency. The authors made a critical analysis of the existing applications on the market, identified the weak points and made constructive proposals for the developers of mobile applications.
