Wearable panic button

A management server, comprising:

• a network interface that receives telemetry data related to a sensor of a panic button device and that receives a keypress sequence of the panic button device;
• and
• a processor configured to determine an event type and a location of the panic button device, wherein the network interface transmits an emergency request to a public safety access point (PSAP), the emergency request indicating the event type and the location, and
• the network interface receives an emergency alert message authenticity request from a peer device and transmits an emergency alert message authenticity response to the peer device, at least in part based on a determination that an emergency alert message was received from the panic button device.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by a processor of a management server, cause the management server to perform a method comprising:

• receiving telemetry data related to a sensor of a panic button device;
• receiving a keypress sequence of the panic button device;
• determining an event type and a location of the panic button device;
• transmitting an emergency request to a public safety access point (PSAP), the emergency request indicating the event type and the location;
• receiving an emergency alert message authenticity request from a peer device;
• and
• transmitting an emergency alert message authenticity response to the peer device, at least in part based on a determination that an emergency alert message was received from the panic button device.
