Development goals on this Panic Button application is to make it easier to call the nearest hospital for help. Panic Button works as a notification or alarm which tells that a danger is happening to an outpatient in emergency level and needs of immediate help. It is an android information-based which make it possible for outpatients to tell or send a notification message to the hospital medical workers when they are in an emergency problem. The system will send a notification after he/she clicks the SOS button. Using this emergency button is only to send a notification message and activate an integrated alarm. This system consists of mobile application, management information system and alarm system which was developed using Arduino Wemos D1 including ESP8266. Android application was developed using Google Firebase System as a notification system. When someone clicks the SOS button, the android application will send a data to management information system through Application Programming Interface (API). While the management information system will switch the alarm status to ‘danger’. The alarm system will check the alarm status frequently through API and if ‘danger’ status is found, it will change its status to ‘alarm’ and ring. All the hospital medical workers who are in charge of the patients who use this android application and is connected through the same system will get a notification message and they can check the source location or call the outpatients using smartphones.
