Wearable Safety Devices

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'Ripple' is a Wearable Support Network That Can Be Taken on the Go

— January 26, 2017 — Tech
Ripple Network Technologies, Inc. recently announced that it will be teaming up with Tunstall to launch a Kickstarter campaign for a cutting-edge device that serves as the "world's first wearable support network." Dubbed 'Ripple,' this wearable device represents the future of personal safety technology.

Ripple is a penny-sized wearable device that instantly connects users with the Tunstall team of emergency problem-solvers who are available 24 hours a day. To use the device, users simple press the discrete Bluetooth button activate the app and they will receive an immediate call from a member of the Tunstall monitoring team. This individual can then dispatch emergency services or assistance for the Ripple user if necessary. The device even allows users to press the button three times for immediate help if they are unable to talk to the monitoring team.

Whether walking home alone at night or meeting up with a stranger for a date, Ripple gives users peace of mind in knowing that their wearable support network is always with them.
Trend Themes
1. Wearable Safety Devices - The development of more wearable safety devices (similar to Ripple) will continue to gain attention and investment as personal security is becoming a major priority.

3. 24/7 Emergency Support - The demand for 24/7 emergency support is increasing rapidly, creating a market opportunity for tech companies to develop innovative devices and services that offer immediate and authentic help.
Industry Implications

2. Telecare Services - Telecare services can benefit from this technology to provide 24/7 emergency support, creating a new market opportunity for increased investment and development.
3. Emergency Services - Emergency services providers can collaborate with tech companies to develop more effective and efficient emergency response systems that can receive and process information more quickly and accurately.
