Multifunctional telemetry apparatus for real-time emergency support comprising biosensors set of electrical biosensors set, green LEDs, red LEDs, infrared LEDs, near infrared LEDs and photodetector set and temperature biosensor, accelerometer, pressure sensor set and wireless antenna, which enables the life-support network to infer and monitor user's present condition through a plurality of real-time biological information, clinical emergency conditions, movement data and events of victimizer unstrapping the apparatus. The embodiments of the multifunctional telemetry apparatus to track emergency situations through analysis of tracking information even in moving conditions or victimizer based emergency situation without active inputs or active involvement from user. Classified clinical emergency and child tracking applications synchronized to the emergency support apparatus, and these applications operated by the life-support having classified trigger commands and tracking information displayed in a manner to help efficiently mitigate emergency risks. The apparatus configured through novel communication means to communicate to life-support network even with no access to standard communication channels.

A wearable device may connect to a wearable device over a short-range wireless connection. The user device may receive sensor data from the wearable device, where the wearable device has sensors. The user device may determine that a safety alert parameter has been met, and in response generate an audible alarm. The device may then determine that the connection between the user device and the wearable device has been disconnected, and in response, generate a second audible alarm.

An apparatus, including a housing; display; keyboard; at least one microphone; at least one speaker; at least one camera; memory or database which stores travel schedule or itinerary information for a first individual; global positioning device; communication equipment, controller; and transmitter. If the controller detects a deviation of the apparatus from a travel schedule or itinerary or detects an absence of or leaving of the apparatus from an expected location, the controller generates a message and the transmitter transmits the message to a first communication device associated with a second individual. The apparatus initiates a telephone call to the first communication device or a second communication device, de-activates an on/off switching functionality of the apparatus, and deactivates a telephone calling on/off switching functionality.

Interactive communication devices in communication with a central server support ambient communications between two or more remotely located users. Each device has a sensor and a feedback device. The sensors allow the device to sense outgoing interaction (e.g., a squeeze or hug), and the feedback devices allow the device to demonstrate incoming interactions. A central device is activated when someone interacts with any of the other devices within the network. The other devices in the networkthe peripheral devicesare activated both when the interaction originates from the central device as well as from the other peripheral devices. When the server determines that a user has interacted with one of the devices, messages are sent to other devices in the network to reflect the user interaction. The communication devices allow the users in the network to send messages to each other by simply squeezing their respective devices.

A personal protective device is combined with a cellular telephone. Activation of either device causes activation of the other device. Activation is achieved by a switch or voice command. Upon activation, a message asking for assistance at the present location is sent to a previously agreed upon emergency contact. The smartphone also starts both audio and video recording, which are also part of the data sent to the emergency contact person or service. Additionally, the personal protective devices are integrated into a unit that may combine such items as a protective spray, Taser, strobe light, dye pack, siren and other deterrent technologies to ward off would-be attackers. These devices are integrated into a hand held unit that can be unobtrusively worn or carried in a purse or pocket or in the user's hand. An optical safety device is included to protect the user from a potential assailant approaching from rearward.
