This app was design to give peace of mind to family and friends when loved ones are traveling by accompany the user from point A to point B and ensure they arrive safely.

First Round Prototype

After getting the feedback from my classmates, here are some of the suggestions I incorporated to create a better user flow

Reorganization of the flow of the user interface was necessary. As users suggested, I removed the intro in order to jump right away to the main screens.
Using contact list to choose emergency contact
Voice activation during last steps could create confusion, so voice command will be only used in case of emergency.
Use GPS to track the location and path of the user

Second Round Prototype

I designed Low-Fidelity wireframes to visualize the flow and see what steps were missing on paper

Last Round Prototype

As a result and after testing the user flow one last time, here are the final modifications added to the final product:

For the first screen after entering the app, notifications will show permissions to use current location.
Using contact list to choose emergency contact, after selecting the contact of your choice, app will send a notification asking the contact to help user on the task, if the contact accepts the task, the button will turn green and will give the user access to the last screen.
Last screen will contain a drop down menu with 5 default safe words, so users can use the safe word in case of emergency.
After all screens are complete, the user can activate the app
If the user arrives safe at their destination, user can press a button to mark themself safe and a notification will be also be sent to the emergency contact to let them know that the task is completed.
If the user feels threated then they can use the secure word. Then the emergency contact will be notified to get help.

Final product

This is the final version of the prototype
