Background

One of the key challenges when requesting emergency assistance is communication.

• When out in the streets, sometimes you are unsure of the exact location that you are in, which is then difficult for the rescue team to find you quickly.
• When in scenario such as kidnap, where you could not speak or communicate your movement, you could not alert the rescue team of your movement for rescue operation.
• When one is in distress, you could be too traumatized to speak or for individuals with hearing or speech impaired, it would be tough to communicate calmly to the rescue team.

Hence, with MyDistress, you could alert the police department of your emergency situation with just a click.

Why MyDistress

• Requesting for police help today requires one to dial 999 to provide info & location.
  
  
• Often, it’s difficult to state location due to stressful situations, for uncertainty of exact location.
  
  
• In extreme situation, it’s impossible to speak up for assistance of fear of own safety.
  
  
• Hence, a solution is needed to streamline this process for police help and pinpoint the exact location.
