Life Button could be activated with a shake of your iPhone and you can also take pictures that will be attached to the email messages.

In a case of emergency, every second counts. Your emergency contacts will already have your location saving time in an emergency situation.

LifeButton helps you save precious time with One-Touch-Dial, allowing you to notify specified emergency contacts with the push of a single button including local Police, Fire, EMS and personal contacts.

Messages are sent out at regular intervals or in response to a change in location. They will contain the GPS coordinates, including your position, approximate address, height, speed, direction you are moving in, accuracy of GPS data, link to Google Maps of geographic area and the audio file of the ambient noise.
