Abstract
A system and method associated with providing an alert at a client device. The system and method include receiving one or more signals indicative of a surrounding environment of a client device. The system and method further include analyzing the signals to determine a risk factor associated with the surrounding environment of the client device. The risk factor associated with the surrounding environment is then compared to a threshold indicative of a confidence level that a user of the client device may be in danger. Based on the comparison between the risk factor and the threshold, an alert may be issued at the client device to inform the user of the potential danger.
