Claim:
1. A notification system comprising: a profile module configured to receive biometric data from a wearable computing device over a network, wherein the biometric data is associated with a wearer of the wearable computing device; a threshold module configured to determine that the received biometric data is outside of a threshold range; a group module configured to determine at least one user within a first group, the first group having a first set of wearable computing devices, the first group including the at least one user associated with the wearer on the wearable computing device on a social network and, wherein the profile module is configured to receive biometric data from first set of wearable computing devices; an alert module configured to transmit an emergency alert signal to the user within the group responsive to determining that the received biometric data is outside of the threshold range; a location module configured to determine the locations associated with each of the first set of wearable computing devices and a second set of wearable computing devices, the locations associated with second set of wearable computing device being within a predetermined distance from a geographic region, the geographic region having a first size, the predetermined distance from the geographic region having a second size, the second size being greater than the first size; a density module configured to determine an aggregate number of the first set of wearable computing devices having received biometric data is outside of the threshold range within the geographic region, wherein the alert module is configured to transmit a notification signal to the second set of wearable computing devices responsive to determining that the aggregate number of the first set of wearable computing devices having received biometric data is outside of the threshold range within the geographic region.
