More details about the LiSButton app
This program with an alarm button (rescue button) is intended for presenting a distress signal in cases of: heart and other attacks, falling under the rubble of buildings and other structures, other threats to human life.
In such situations, there may not be time to unlock the smartphone and send a standard sound message, and the button located on the wrist, on the sleeve, or simply in the hand, can save your life.
This is especially important in the case of an attacker or enemy attacking you, when it is extremely undesirable to pull out your smartphone to signal. Due to the war in Ukraine, there is no payment for installing the program on its territory. In this regard, it is prohibited to install the program in Russia and Belarus, which excludes the installation and use of the program in these territories.
Subscribers who are automatically sent messages with the coordinates of your location at the click of a button are given the opportunity to see your location on a map and view several options for following to that location. At the request of the subscriber receiving the information, you can choose the method of travel to your location either on foot, by personal car or public transport. In this case, the approximate time of the selected method of travel to the specified place is given.
This application is advisable to use in medical institutions to call medical personnel to the patient's ward in unforeseen situations with him. In this case, either the patient himself or his neighbor can call medical personnel by pressing a button. This may be necessary, for example, in case of: running out of drugs in the dropper, shutting down the system, or a sharp deterioration in the patient's well-being.
This program with an alarm button can be useful for motorists and other transport drivers, where in the event of an accident, a person will not always be able to take out a smartphone and use it correctly in a stressful state. In such conditions, it is much easier and faster to press the button hanging on the hand or on the neck.

About the hardware rescue button and its improvement
As an alarm button, it is advisable to use a Bluetooth "anti-loss" key fob type itag. Such key fobs are built using BLE technology and run on one CR2032 battery (preferably DL/CR 2032 Duracell). However, the presence of a Zummer in such a key chain significantly reduces the battery life, and sometimes turns it off, so it is advisable to remove the transistor that supplies power to the buzzer from the key chain. The photo highlights the transistor that should be removed. The diode and buzzer after the transistor are unnecessary in the circuit, they can also be removed.
To improve the operation of the key fob in the cold season, it is advisable to connect an electrolytic capacitor with a capacity of at least 10 microfarads in parallel with the battery (contacts Bat- and Bat+). It should be noted that the leakage of this capacitor should be as small as possible.
Remark:
The Bluetooth selfie button does not have the necessary functions, so it cannot be used.
