Idea: Smart Wearable Bracelet with AI-Powered Safety Alerts 

Women’s safety remains a pressing real-life issue, particularly in cities where harassment and sexual assault take place regardless of the availability of safety apps and emergency helplines. Existing options, such as panic buttons and GPS tracking apps, rely on internet connectivity, require the victim to manually activate them, or involve police response that is not immediate — creating gaps when they are most needed.

                My idea is to create a Smart Wearable Bracelet that uses AI and biometric sensors to automatically recognize signs of distress. The wristband would track sudden changes in heart rate, abnormal body movements (such as being dragged forcibly), or significant pulling forces. The device would be if such trends are noticed:

• Raise a loud alarm to get attention.
• Share live GPS location and an audio recording with emergency contacts and local law enforcement in real-time.
• Enable a subtle vibration-based SOS confirmation option, allowing the user to cancel false alarms.

The beneficiaries of this idea are:

Women and girls who travel late at night, alone, or reside in high-risk neighborhoods.
Families who find comfort in knowing their loved ones are safe. Authorities and communities that can respond more quickly and stop crimes. This is a cause that is close to my heart because I believe that real empowerment can only be achieved when women feel safe in every space — be it public or private. Unlike other solutions, this concept integrates AI-powered automatic detection with wearable convenience, reducing reliance on manual intervention in emergencies.

Combining IoT, AI, and safety design into one wearable device, this innovation not only fills a gap in the market but also brings us closer to the vision of making safety a right and not a privilege.
