The world is a dangerous place these days – and one would definitely have to do their bit to ensure that one is aware of the surroundings, especially at night when it can be hard to tell whether there are threats lurking around every corner. Having a personal safety device might be useful, and the Safeti is one of them. Specially designed to trigger a customizable alert which will be sent automatically to emergency contacts, not to mention one’s GPS location, this unique tool has an added advantage – it will not require itself to be connected via Bluetooth to another smartphone in order to work.
Right now, the Safeti is available for pre-order over at IndieGoGo for $89 a pop, and early birds can place an order for $10 to $15 off. Should all go well, do expect the Safeti to begin rolling off production lines some time in August later this year. How does the Safeti work? Whenever one clicks and holds the button on the Safeti , it will then send a message to the people in a pre-determined safety circle with a text message, as well as a link to the existing GPS co-ordinates.
In an actual emergency, just click the button three times, and a personal safety concierge will be notified. This person will talk you through the situation, providing advice on various useful locations, such as the nearest open convenience store or brightly lit street is. If you fail to pick up your phone then, the police will be notified. Each Safeti will arrive with four free calls from a personal safety concierge, where subsequent calls will then be chargeable.
