Design Brief

Panic Button is a mobile phone application that alerts a user’s pre-selected contacts that they are in an emergency. The app has been designed for Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) and other individuals at risk and will develop it towards an initial release. In it's prototype version the app was referred to as 100Roses, a disguise name to deter malevolent interception of the app.

Panic Button came from a project asking the following question: How can technology help people working to uphold human rights in the face of unlawful detention?

The first Panic Button prototype was created at a ‘make-a-thon’ weekend in February 2012. The concept was then iterated on over six weeks where software engineers and designers helped to turn it into working software that we could use as an advanced prototype for testing.
