Heartbeat - An alarm button and dead man's switch to detect unlawful detention
Updated 1 year 5 months ago
"Heartbeat" is a proof of concept. The goal is to develop a system that provides people who are in danger of oppression due to political views with the possibility to be "tracked" in daily life. This tracking makes sure that the person is seemingly still active in his own private environment (and not locked away) by observing twitter and blogs and requiring periodical confirmation. As soon the tracking cannot spot the person anymore (no heartbeats have been received) the system starts informing family members, defined contacts, Amnesty International, etc.
