WE THE PEOPLE WILL BRING CHANGES
PROTOTYPE
Mood Recording
-
Help people record their changing moods everyday
-
People can track their mood over time
-
Recording how they feel each day and what factors may be contributing to their emotional state.
-
System will automatically observe people’s moods and will ask them if they need help after the continuous bad moods
Report Cases to Law Enforcement
-
By providing users with a simple understanding of the content of the U.S. judicial system and process in order to help people:
-
Improve support for victims and raise awareness of the issue.
-
Improved Trust in Law Enforcement. It also provides an easy and accessible way to report incidents and receive support from the police.
-
The app can help speed up the reporting process, enabling police to respond more quickly to incidents and provide timely assistance to victims.
Self-defense Techniques Teaching and Practice
-
Users can choose to learn different simple self-defense techniques to face the corresponding attacks (such as grabbing, pushing, running, shoulder pin)
-
Physical and mental resilience is useful not only in street situations but also in other aspects of life. It helps individuals feel more confident in responding to emergencies. Additionally, it allows users to take charge of their own safety and security, reducing their vulnerability to hate crimes and other forms of violence.
