1. A personal-assistance system comprising:
a primary device configured to establish a local network with one or more secondary devices,
wherein the primary device is configured to couple the system to a wireless telecommunications network, and
wherein the one or more secondary devices includes at least one wearable device worn by a user;
a first sensor configured to monitor physical activity occurring within a threshold vicinity of a user;
a second sensor configured to measure a physical property of the user;
at least one hardware processor; and
at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions, which, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the system to:
determine that the physical activity satisfies a first condition,
wherein the physical activity corresponds to detection of a presence of an object within a threshold vicinity of the user;
determine that the measure of the physical property of the user satisfies a second condition,
wherein the first condition and the second condition are satisfied within a timeframe; and
in response to the first condition and the second condition being satisfied within the timeframe, predict that the user lacks awareness of the object being in the threshold vicinity of the user,
wherein the measure of the physical property corresponds to a measure of a movement or physiological property of the user; and
cause the primary device to generate an alert indicating the presence of the object within the threshold vicinity of the user,
wherein the action is performed by the primary device and includes communicating the alert to an electronic device of the user and
wherein the alert indicates that the presence of the object poses a risk of a threat to the user.
