React Mobile Debuts Software API For Panic Buttons

Seattle-based React Mobile, which develops panic button apps aimed at personal safety, said it has released a new API aimed at letting developers of wearables and other apps tie into its services. React Mobile develops a panic button it calls the "Sidekick", which it says will summon help from a trusted contact, immediately sending your GPS location and telling them you need help. The company said its panic button and a similar app are aimed at people who might be going on a first date, who are traveling abroad, for runners and athletes, and many others.
