Reducing the fatality rate resulting from vehicle accidents is a significant concern in our society. Delivering prompt and excellent emergency healthcare services poses a difficulty. The response time of emergency personnel to the accident location is significantly prolonged, resulting in an occasional inability to preserve lives. In order to address this scenario, it is imperative to minimize the interval between the occurrence of the accident and the provision of medical services. We have developed a meticulously structured Android application that will be utilized for the purpose of identifying accidents and promptly alerting emergency services. Additionally, it will carry out timely rescue operations. A built-in sensor designed to detect car accidents and transmit the data to the Android Application. The system will promptly notify the user through an alarm regarding the generated accident notification. It will then allow a brief period, known as the buffer time, for the user to cancel any erroneous notifications. If the user fails to cancel, the message will be transmitted by GSM to the nearest hospital and police station, along with the precise position of the accident determined by GPS technology. The execution of this Android application has the potential to preserve the lives of millions of individuals annually.
