Smart Help for Phone Users
From: Wireless Design - 11/19/2015

The elderly may find that using a smartphone is difficult and
incomprehensible, while the disabled may encounter problems because phone
operation requires delicate motor functions. But one inventor saw no reason
for it to be this way – and has found a solution to the problem.

His invention is a smartphone case equipped with physical buttons, as well as
an app that offers an emergency help function. The application can be
installed on most Android devices.

Because the buttons are ergonomically designed in a concaved shape, they are
easier to press even for those who may have trembling hands. And the alarm
function provides a greater level of security for all those who don't have a
security alarm. It automatically sends an SMS with a GPS location to the
owner's next of kin. If the next of kin don't respond, a manned emergency
helpdesk is contacted automatically.
