beamAssist is a patented, one-touch, 3-button, color-coded mobile app specifically designed for individual urgent response and emergency status communication. It allows users to share vital information including location with designated contacts and/or public safety dispatch centers in just seconds. It can easily be configured for communities/groups to use among friends and family members or for professional use within an organization.
The color-coded, 3-buttons (green, amber and red) represent equivalent levels of emergency, allowing users to share location, audio, video, and user bio in real-time (seconds not minutes). Additionally, one can opt in to share vital data through health sensors.
Each button can be configured to share the following from any smartphone: GPS, microphone, speaker, camera, mute phone, text to 911 or other designated numbers. The text includes a live link broadcasting GPS, audio and video live.
beamAssist represents Beam’s Unified Communication of Things as a Service (UCTaaS) with heightened capabilities including text, audio/video, sub-second GPS connectivity, push-to-talk and SOS.
Administrators can configure the app for organization-wide use. Users can only register through an approved organization, community or agency through an Admin portal and can share encrypted and geo-tagged IoT content and media, as well as real-time collaboration with experts, citizens and PSAPs.
beamAssist unique features include:
• It provides GPS sub-second latency tracking and navigation;
