Design and implementation of a voice recognition wearable emergency alert device

Abstract

Today’s current global scenario, the basic question in every people’s mind, considering the continuous increase of issues on personal safety in the recent past is mostly spoken about their safety and security. Personal safety is an individual's ability to go about their everyday life free from the threat or fear of psychological, emotional or physical harm from others. The only thought haunting every individual is when they will be able to move freely on the streets in the odd hours without worrying about their safety [1]. This project describes a voice recognition wearable emergency alert device for personal safety using GSM. In case of emergency situations, a voice command is input and once recognized by the recognition board, it activates the GPS for location tracking and an SMS is sent to the relatives and authorities for rescue. This document describes a portable, quick responding and cost-effective system for an individual and especially when a person in distress can call for help just with the voice command. The people wearing this device as a watch, in case of any attack or when they sense any danger , they input a voice command through the voice recognition module and a message alert is sent to a few predefined emergency numbers for rescue[1]. By providing the instant location of the victim to relatives and authorities, the incident could be prevented and the culprit apprehended. Key terms: Wearable, Voice recognition, Emergency, Alert device.
