About this app

Aptus Aware 3 is designed for residential care facilities. The application enables nurses to receive and respond to calls from residents, including assist calls and emergency calls. The system tracks nurse locations throughout the facility in real-time, allowing stakeholders to analyze response times, attendance patterns, and operational efficiency.

**Key Features:**
- Resident call management (assist calls and emergency calls)
- Real-time nurse and staff location tracking
- Emergency duress button using configurable hardware buttons (default: Samsung XCover Button)
- Attendance monitoring and operational efficiency analysis
- Workgroup management and comprehensive reporting
- Background operation for continuous protection

**AccessibilityService Usage:**
This app uses the Android AccessibilityService API exclusively to detect hardware button presses (default: Samsung XCover Button) for the emergency duress feature. The service monitors only hardware key events - no screen content, user interactions, or personal data is accessed. When you configure a hardware button and hold it for a specified duration, it triggers an emergency duress call. This works even when the device is locked or the app is in the background, ensuring emergency functionality is always available.

**Privacy & Security:**
The accessibility service is used solely for hardware button detection. We do not access, read, or transmit screen content, user interactions, or personal information. All processing is done locally, and only emergency alerts are transmitted when explicitly triggered by the user.

**Permissions:**
- AccessibilityService: Required for hardware button detection (emergency duress feature only)
- Location: For sharing location during emergencies
- Network: For communication and emergency alerts
- Background: To monitor emergency buttons when app is not active
