According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Disclosed in the invention is an automated wearable personal safety / emergency response device which has the function of automatically detecting physical assault situations or situations in which a person is in distress without the need for a user to necessarily intervene manually. An invention uses a central microcontroller, with a multi-modal sensor array as its input devices to the microcontroller, as the primary means of detecting both the occurrence of physical assault on the user. The specific sensors used in the multi-modal sensor array of the recognized invention are made of biomechanical sensors (used to detect motion and falls), acoustic/vibration sensors (used to detect impacts and screams), and physiological sensors (used to detect physiological measures for abnormal spikes in the heart rate or other physiological responses). The central microcontroller uses a unique sensor fusion algorithm that processes data input from the above mentioned physical and physiological sensors in real-time and correlates the data with an authenticated bona fide attack signal so as to eliminate false alarms from occurrences of normal day-to-day activity. When a bona fide emergency is detected, the invention will automatically trigger the use of the automatic communication modules, which include a real-time Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver and a Cellular GSM module. The invention will immediately and automatically send SMS Alert Messages containing live geo-location tracking links to emergency contacts (via cellular telephone to predesignated contacts) and make automated voice calls to emergency contacts who have been predesignated by the user. The INVENTION will also be housed in an inconspicuous / wearable form factor that is totally independent from the user's smart phone and will have a redundant manually activated push button fail-safe device incorporated therein for a reliable and fail-proof means of protecting user safety."
