HelperNet
Help people. Help each other.
Using scanning of nearby people we produced an app that is capable of creating a real-time infrastructure to help people in emergency situations. The infrastructure itself based on the p2pkit by Uepaa that enables small-scale communication networks to exchange data quickly. This first aid solution does not need registration, a server backend or other more complex infrastructure elements. There is no location tracking that invades privacy and drains battery. This makes it more flexible and even capable of helping out in emergency situations when you don’t have a well established network service such as in the countryside and crowded places.
