The application is specifically designed to alert some specific group of contacts saved on user’s iPhone at the time of fall. The contacts will be as decided by the users of the iOS app. After users will install the application they can manage the settings after pressing the enable button. They can add their respective details, set the timer to start the countdown as per the convenience, and set the contacts they want in the emergency alert receivers list.
