Wearable Devices - Red Panic Button

Some time ago, smartwatches were considered some sort of luxury product only dedicated to the hi-tech aficionado looking to use and wear the latest piece of technology. However, in the past few years smartwatches became more and more affordable, popular and world-spread not only because the wide area of useful apps they support but simply because they make your life better and easier.

Some of the most appraised smartwatches like the Apple Watch, Android Wear and Pebble or the Bluetooth Panic Button which is a wearable button, also support safety-entered apps like the Red Panic Button. There are countless of distress situations when you can’t (or you are not recommended to) use a smartphone, even if you have the Panic Button installed on it. A proper smartwatch allows you to discretely and efficiently make use of the app and send a distress message (containing an alert and a GPS location) to your preset list of emergency contacts. A group of people using the same app and smartwatches can stay close together and thus make any search & rescue or emergency intervention faster and easier.

The integration is a huge step to a “hands-free” panic app where you can still use the app even if you cannot reach your phone. This means that whenever you are in a stressful situation, you don’t need to reach for your phone anymore and become obvious in your attempts to call for help (in case you are confronted with an urban accident or a street crime situation where discretion is mandatory not to alert perpetrators). The Red Panic Button app can now be accessed via your smartwatch in a timely manner, thus offering you an ever higher level of protection and a quicker solution for safety.
Once you pushed the Panic Button via the smartwatch, the app does its miracle work, sending your GPS coordinates together with your distress message to your emergency contacts’ list, thus making search and rescue operations a lot more efficient.
