The system is configured to automatically or manually detect emergency conditions based on predefined motion patterns, angular orientation, or user input. Upon activation, the GPS module acquires geographical location data, and the GSM module transmits an SOS emergency message containing the location to predefined contacts using cellular communication. A vibration feedback mechanism provides confirmation of successful or failed message transmission. The invention provides a low-cost, autonomous, and discreet personal safety solution suitable for use in remote and low-connectivity environments."
