Emergency Related Problems To Overcome 1. Emergency help mostly depends on Voice Calls , what if the person cannot comprehend? 2. Time taken for the emergency help to arrive is too long, i.e. fastest help in 15 minutes in cities.

3. Emergency help via mobile telephony is not possible where there is no mobile network coverage.
4. Many anonymous false mobile calls to disturb the emergency personnel. 5. Assume immediate evacuation of a densely populated certain area is needed, how to alarm the people in an area only and real fast?

Further Emergency Issues To Solve 6. Mobile Emergency Location, is positioning upto 125m good enough? 7. Is the person in need still alive? Is he/she getting better or worse? Is life functions monitoring possible? How?

8. Can the people in need dare to go out themselves again? Can we give the elderly their independence?
9. Can First Aid Persons get the best professional assistance possible? 10. Can we create better societies that are ready to help, rather than to kill?

We can all learn to help.
