1. A method to manage a crisis situation of a user, the method comprising:
obtaining, via a processor of a user device, a profile of the user and a real-time location of the user;
obtaining, via the processor, a plurality of measurements associated with the user from a plurality of measurement units of the user device, wherein the plurality of measurements comprises an inertial measurement indicative of a sudden movement of the user, one or more biometric readings of the user, and one or more additional measurements associated with the user;
determining, via the processor, whether one or more of the plurality of measurements exceed respective first predefined threshold values;
calculating, via the processor, a probability of the crisis situation when the one or more measurements exceed the respective first predefined threshold values, wherein the calculation of the probability is based on a count of the one or more measurements, and a magnitude of difference between the one or more measurements and the respective first predefined threshold values;
responsive to calculating the probability, selecting, via the processor, a type of the crisis situation based on the one or more measurements and the profile of the user, when the probability is greater than a second predefined threshold value, wherein selecting the type of the crisis situation comprises selecting crises situation from: detecting a fall of the user, detecting an assault situation, detecting whether the user is held at a gunpoint, detecting whether the user is drowning, and detecting a medical emergency; and
actuating, via the processor, one or more mitigation steps based on the probability, the type of the crisis situation, and the real-time location of the user, wherein actuating the one or more mitigation steps comprises:
actuating a first mitigation step when the processor selects a first type of crises situation,
actuating a second mitigation step when the processor selects a second type of crises situation, and
wherein the first type of crises situation is different from the second type of crises situation.
