E-Ligtas: A Life-Saving Application Using Fingerprint Biometrics with Analysis for the People Who are in an Emergency

Most crimes being committed around the streets are left unreported, despite the presence of various acts enacted by the government. There is also an issue of the police not being able to respond on time as there are lots of people who may be reporting, and not every emergency may be attended. With that, the researchers have decided to devise a quick emergency response system that can help citizens of Taguig City, Philippines send an emergency call to the police fast and record it automatically. A research on related tools and frameworks has been conducted to support the system. It was tested by the citizens of Taguig to assess if the system has improved the emergency response times. Based on the results, a large percentage of citizens believed that the system created is much more intuitive compare to calling the policemen via phone.
