Overview

For USC's AthenaHacks 24-hour hackathon, I worked in a team of four to develop USC SOS, a service that provides users with a hub of various emergency contacts at USC at their fingertips. USC is located near South Los Angeles, Inglewood, and Watts— cities known for their high crime and gang rates. While USC offers various services to students who may encounter emergencies off campus, in a life or death situation, it can be hard for your average sleep-deprived college student to quickly find the right person to call for help. USC SOS makes it easy to get connected quickly by providing a place for all important emergency contacts at just a click or call away.


We developed the flow control and voice functions of our application using Twilio Console Studio, using interactions such as  split based on dial or speech  and  connect call to.  We linked our Twilio flow chart to our mobile user interface using React-Native and published the application through the Expo-CLI framework.
