What is duress?

Duress, in a technology context, typically refers to a 'panic button' feature or system designed to allow individuals to discreetly signal for help in situations where they are under threat or experiencing an emergency. It often involves a physical button, a specific sequence of actions on a device (like a smartphone), or a voice command that triggers an alert to a designated contact or authority. These alerts can include location data, audio recordings, or other relevant information to aid in a rapid response. Duress systems are commonly used by security personnel, healthcare workers, lone workers, or anyone who may be at risk of violence or emergencies.
