Abstract: Systems and methods for alerting an emergency contact are provided. The systems and methods are performed on an electronic device which collects, in real-time, data related to a user's personal safety and transmits the data to the user's emergency contact(s). The systems and methods include creating a timer mode having a start time and an end time, assigning an emergency contact to the timer mode, at the start time of the timer mode automatically activating the timer mode, at the end time of the timer mode automatically activating an emergency mode, and communicating the user's personal safety data with the emergency contact during the emergency mode. To create the timer mode or assign the emergency contact(s), information from the user's electronic device and/or on a remote server may be imported.
