Abstract: The present invention relates to an IoT-enabled wearable safety device designed to enhance personal security for women through real-time monitoring and rapid emergency response. The device integrates a microcontroller, Global Positioning System (GPS) module, and Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) module within a compact and portable structure. Upon activation of a panic button, the system immediately retrieves real-time geographical coordinates and transmits an emergency alert message containing a location link to predefined contacts via GSM communication. Simultaneously, the device can upload location data to an IoT cloud platform to enable continuous live tracking through a connected application. The invention further supports optional automatic distress detection using biometric sensors such as a heart rate monitor, which can trigger an SOS alert when abnormal physiological parameters are detected. A built-in buzzer provides an audible alarm to attract nearby assistance during emergencies. The system operates independently of smartphones for core alert transmission, thereby increasing reliability in critical situations. The proposed solution addresses limitations in existing mobile-based safety applications by offering a dedicated, low-cost, and standalone wearable device capable of dual communication through GSM and IoT cloud integration. The invention is suitable for students, working professionals, and vulnerable individuals requiring enhanced personal protection. By combining real-time tracking, automated alert mechanisms, and cloud connectivity, the device provides a comprehensive and scalable safety solution aimed at improving emergency response efficiency and personal security.
