A method for identifying a disease affected area. The method includes activating a geolocation device of an electronic communication device, determining a current geolocation from the geolocation device, querying a disease database from the electronic communication device, to identify one or more diseases associated with the current geolocation, and generating a graphical display on a display of the electronic communication device displaying a risk rating associated with each of the one or more identified diseases associated with the current geolocation.

A safety system particularly for a transport service software application. The system integrates into an existing transport service software application communicates with a cellular network mobile device of a transport service driver or at least one passenger located in a vehicle offering rideshare services. In an emergency, a user of the system may press a panic button on the application. The mobile device activates its camera and microphone turns on to livestreams audio and video to emergency personnel, and transmits GPS data to said emergency personnel.

An emergency notification system and method includes a mobile computing device having live transmissible location data and activation means for selectably transmitting an emergency signal, such as at least one touch activatable emergency button provided through a touchscreen display of the mobile computing device. When the user activates an emergency button, GPS location data from a GPS receiver of the mobile computing device may be automatically acquired. A video and/or audio recording may also be generated using a camera of the mobile computing device. The recorded video and location data is automatically transmitted from the mobile computing device to a remote data storage location and to an administrator who may provide emergency assistance to the user.

A computing device is described that receives input from a distressed user that indicates the user is in a state of distress. The computing device references a profiles database that stores attribute information that indicates preferred attributes of a potential responder. The communication is sent to a plurality of responding devices and includes an alert indication, at some of the preferred attributes, and a location of the first computing device. Incident to sending the alert, the computing device receives an acknowledgement that indicates that at least one responsive computing device received the alert, which is associated with a responsive user who has attributes matching the preferred attributes. Presenting a map on the computing device that is useable to help locate the first computing device.

A communication system is presented for a mobile device having a mobile application stored on the mobile device. The mobile application has a graphical user interface and a touchscreen. A controller is configured to interface with the mobile application. The controller includes a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory on which instructions are recorded. The controller is adapted to selectively execute a stealth mode for message transmissions between a user of the mobile device and a remote assistance unit. The stealth mode is activated based in part on a signal from the mobile application and includes muting each audio stream in the mobile device and disabling vibrate notifications. A first phase of inquiries is submitted to the user, via the graphical user interface, along with one or more pre-populated replies. The stealth mode includes alerting an advisor in the remote assistance unit.

A personal electronic device holder with a clamp is described. The clamp including a body having a U-shape, a first surface, and a second surface. The first surface and the second surface positionable to selectively clamp against a side rail of health care facility equipment. The holder also includes a structure for retaining and powering or providing data and power to a personal electronic device at the end of a positionable arm connected to the clamp.
