About Buddy Watch

About company

Buddy Watch, is a personal safety application that detects emergencies automatically, and responds to them even when the user can't reach his or her phone. Safety solutions today require either reaching a panic button in the middle of an emergency, or waiting for a safety time to run down. We solve the problem of achieving passive and immediate emergency response by using GPS and accelerometer data to identify emergency triggers. Buddy Watch uses machine learning techniques to adapt to each user’s specific context, and is thus scalable geographically and demographically to the 1 billion+ at-risk users internationally.
