Wearable panic button

An apparatus, comprising:

• a wireless network interface that receives a configuration and receives a panic signal via a personal area network technology;
• a button that receives an input;
• a sensor that measures a physical attribute to produce sensor data;
• a processor configured to determine an occurrence of an emergency event, at least in part based on the configuration and the input, wherein
• the wireless network interface transmits telemetry data indicating the sensor data, at least in part based on the occurrence of the emergency event;
• the wireless network interface transmits an authenticity request, at least in part based on a reception of the panic signal;
• the wireless network interface receives an authenticity response;
• and
• an output interface that outputs an audio, visual, or haptic output, at least in part based on the authenticity response.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing unit, perform operations comprising:

• receiving a configuration;
• receiving a panic signal via a personal area network technology;
• receiving an input;
• measuring a physical attribute to produce sensor data;
• determining an occurrence of an emergency event, at least in part based on the configuration and the input;
• transmitting telemetry data indicating the sensor data, at least in part based on the occurrence of the emergency event;
• transmitting an authenticity request, at least in part based on a reception of the panic signal;
• receiving an authenticity response;
• and
• outputting an audio, visual, or haptic output, at least in part based on the authenticity response.
