Abstract:

A method and system for personal emergency mobile communications includes providing a mobile communication device having a personal emergency button (PEB) and associated functionality, which may be powered by a secondary power source. Activation of the PEB by a user may cause a wireless PEB notification to be sent to a PEB service provider. Based on the PEB notification, the service provider may identify the user, the user's location, and retrieve user emergency data. The mobile communication device may further be configured to send and/or retain forensic evidence, such as image data, audio data, or other data associated with the user's situation.
