My-Uso

My Uso is a smart device application. The purpose of this application is for everyone and communities to look out for each other. It is similar to the neighbourhood watch concept. However, what My Uso does is making sure that wherever you or your loved ones are, it is more than likely that someone will be able to rescue them. For example, if you are out running after work in the dark and someone is following you, you can push one of the panic buttons and a notification will be sent out to a radius determined by you, the distressed user. This message will go out to anyone who has the app within your selected radius. The people within this radius will then be able to call the police and also help and assist where needed. There is also a camera feature which you can use to take photos and videos of the situation so people wanting to assist can assess the situation.
