Abstract: Personal safety has become an increasingly important concern due to the rising number of emergencies, accidents, and security threats encountered in everyday life. Rapid communication of a user's location during critical situations plays a significant role in minimizing response time and enabling timely assistance from family members, emergency responders, or law enforcement agencies. Although smartphones provide numerous communication capabilities, many existing safety applications either lack integrated emergency response features or require multiple manual interactions before an alert can be transmitted. Such limitations may delay rescue operations during situations where immediate action is essential. This paper presents an Android-based intelligent emergency assistance system that combines real-time GPS location monitoring, Google Maps integration, emergency contact management, and instant alert communication within a unified mobile application. The proposed system enables users to register securely, maintain predefined emergency contacts, continuously monitor their location, and transmit emergency notifications containing real-time geographic coordinates through SMS and phone communication whenever assistance is required. The application further supports nearby assistance services by utilizing location-based mapping technologies to improve emergency response efficiency. Experimental implementation demonstrates that the developed Android application provides reliable real-time location sharing, rapid emergency notification, and user-friendly operation while enhancing personal safety and reducing emergency response delays. The proposed framework offers a practical and cost-effective mobile safety solution suitable for everyday use and emergency management applications.
