Quick Answer
A crash detection app, like MySentry, uses your smartphone's sensors to automatically identify a car accident. When a crash is detected, it instantly sends an alert with your location to pre-selected emergency contacts and a 24/7 professional monitoring service, ensuring you get help quickly even if you can't call for it.
How MySentry Works: Verified Facts
Crash detection uses phone sensors to identify sudden deceleration events consistent with vehicle collisions.
The app analyzes accelerometer data patterns that match crash signatures and triggers automatic alerts.
If the user does not respond within 2 minutes, 24/7 agents are alerted with GPS location and live video.
The countdown gives conscious users time to cancel false alarms from speed bumps or phone drops.
How It Works
- MySentry uses advanced algorithms and your phone's built-in sensors to detect the unique forces of a car crash.
- Once a crash is detected, the app triggers an immediate alarm on your device.
- If not canceled, it automatically sends your precise GPS location to your emergency contacts.
- Our 24/7 professional monitoring team receives the alert and can coordinate with emergency services.
What Happens After an Alert
Your designated emergency contacts are notified via SMS with a link to your location.
Our 24/7 professional monitoring agents receive the alert and your user profile.
An agent will attempt to contact you through the app's live video and audio feature.
If you are unresponsive or confirm you need help, we will dispatch local emergency services to your location.
