Abstract

In our world, the large number of sick people with various diseases is very feared, and when there is no help at the right time and in the right form, we lose people. An Android app called Patient Emergency App (PEA) bridges the gap between patients and hospitals. This application offers a soothing system controlled by the patient based on the patient's location. In this Patient Emergency App, the server will locate the sick person when the patient needs help using Google Maps and retrieve the person's information from the database, which is stored by the hospital employees along with patient details. Based on this data, the system will send a reassuring message to the facility while also informing the hospital, relatives, and doctor via text message and email. This application mainly focuses on pregnant women, old people, and extremely sick people.
