Abstract
Inspired by a friend's fatal accident, we set out to develop a system to predict potential emergencies and help save countless others. The core idea of the system was to build a behavioral baseline for each individual and monitor for signals that could imply potential emergencies in a given context. While creating the original user baseline, we realized the value of having verified user-generated behavioral data. The traditional process of active authentication, based on conventional credentials or physiological biometrics, which we continue using every day, was insufficient for this case. Thinking on first principles, we developed a novel system to solve our problem, which eventually became a platform that can passively authenticate individuals through their mobile devices using behavioral biometrics data and machine learning.
