Design:
The
application
is
created
with
a
color
scheme
that
has
been
scientifically
proved
as
stress
reducing
colors.
The
silver
tended
blue
color
of
the
application
automatically
gives
the
user,
who
may
be
in
a
state
of
nervousness
a
sense
of
calm
which
will
prove
to
be
critical
in
improving
their
own
security.
As
opposite
to
an
app,
which
has
bright,
garish
colors,
Sentinel
improves
the
response
time
of
the
people
using
the
application,
induces
calm
and
creates
better
response.
Sentinel
requires
you
to
enter
the
correct
details
about
yourself
so
that
people
can
find
you
in
case
of
emergencies
and
the
service
works
with
100%
efficiency
to
improve
your
safety.
Your
own
picture
enables
the
emergency
contacts
to
quickly
identify
you
in
case
of
multiple
people
with
identical
names
are
in
their
contact
list.
The
user
can
add
Emergency
contacts
directly
into
the
screen
or
choose
from
their
contacts.
A
complete
profile
is
imported
including
a
thumbnail
of
the
contact.
The
contact
addition
requires
i)
Picture,
ii)Phone
Number
and
iii)
email
to
work
with
complete
efficiency
but
it
can
work
without
picture
or
email.

The
main
screen
of
the
application
is
simple
and
purpose
built.
The
“alert”
button
can
send
alerts
to
well-‐wishers.
A
small
time
delay
enables
the
user
to
quickly
cancel
an
accidental
alert.
Disabling

once

safety
for

change
in
security
situation
also
generates

Emails
and
Phone

that
alerts
the
emergency
contacts
about
the
changed
security
status.
A
