Users can directly stream images from the phone camera to the rescue team during emergency calls or messages. The feature is expected to help the quick response team accurately assess the scene and provide timely support in situations such as traffic accidents, fires or medical emergencies.
Users do not need to install or install more. When you contact the emergency service, the coordinator can send a request to activate the feature. You can choose to agree or disagree. If agreed, the video will be encrypted and can be stopped at any time. Google said that with just one operation, users can share real-time images, helping rescue workers guide emergency steps right on their phones.
Many technology companies have deployed safety solutions such as SOS emergency, collision detection, fall detection or satellite positioning. The addition of live video transmission capabilities is considered the next step to support users in risky situations.
The Urgent Support Video feature will work on devices running Android 8 or later. Google has begun rolling out in the US and some regions in Germany and Mexico.
