1. A wireless communication device for use in a remote monitoring environment, comprising:
a location sensor configured to detect a current location of the wireless communication device;
a biometric sensor configured to obtain biometric identification information of a user wearing an external device;
a transceiver configured to communicate with a remote monitoring server via a network; and
one or more processors configured to:
receive a location corroboration instruction from the remote monitoring server;
in response to receiving the location corroboration instruction:
obtain location and motion data from the external device;
compare the location and motion data from the external device to the current location or a past location detected by the location sensor;
obtain the biometric identification information, the biometric identification information including one of an image, video, or audio sample of the user; and
corroborate a current or past location of the user based on the comparing and the biometric identification information;
receive a user input to initiate a call attempt;
in response to the receiving of the user input:
receive the biometric identification information from the biometric sensor;
receive the current location from the location sensor;
cause the transceiver to transmit the biometric identification information and the current location to the remote monitoring server.
