1. A computer-implemented method for placing an emergency call from a portable computing device upon detecting an event requiring emergency assistance, comprising:

  • detecting, by one or more processors of the portable computing device, that an event has occurred based upon an analysis of data stored in an event sensor profile;

    determining, by one or more processors of the portable computing device, whether the event is one requiring emergency assistance when sensor metrics included in the stored event sensor profile match those associated with a vehicle crash and the stored event sensor profile further indicates that the portable computing device was located within a vehicle when the event occurred; and

    when it is determined that the event corresponds to one requiring emergency assistance, initiating, by one or more processors of the portable computing device, a call to an emergency response service.
