CityHeroes

CityHeroes, a web and mobile app, enables individuals to collaboratively report and solve collective issues and threatening situations.

CityHeroes is an application for smartphones that enables people to send a report about a particular situation in less than 30 seconds. Either it be a loose wire at the office or a terrorist treat at a public event, the information of such event may help save lives. CityHeroes also provides a web platform where the companies, governments, and organizations can manage the reports in real-time, obtain the exact location of the problem, forward the information to the approrpiate institutions, and ideally find a solution to the problem. In this same form CityHeroes can send alerts to the members of an organization when a particular situation requires rapid and effective communication. CityHeroes is also connected to LifeTag, a series of electronic devices that can be either carried around by people or be installed in buses, homes, and other locations. These devices are independent of the cell-phones and are capable of generating information and immediate alerts in case of critical situations. These devices are connected to the CityHeroes system in order to shorten the response times and enable the institutions to take action in the shortest amount of time possible.
