01
Break the connection
A conductive loop detects the break and wakes the electronics.
A little band.
A closer circle.
A discreet safety band. A signal for help.
A community that knows when to respond.
In development. Designed with rural India in mind.
One small action.
A human response.
When reaching for a phone isn’t an option, a deliberate break in the band could start a request for help.
02
Send the signal
The band attempts an alert through a configured LoRaWAN gateway, with phone fallback where available.
03
Bring help closer
An authorised responder reviews the alert, confirms receipt and coordinates the next action.
Response depends on coverage, battery and available people. This prototype does not dispatch police or guarantee rescue.

in everyday life.
Jewellery in its expression. A request for help in its purpose. We’re exploring a soft braided cord and discreet capsules that hold the electronics and battery.

Safety is a
shared responsibility.
Technology can start the conversation. People, training and accountable local partnerships have to carry it forward.
A trusted circle
Access should be limited to authorised responders. A public website should never become a public feed of someone’s location.
Honest about location
A discarded band can only locate itself. Every alert must say where its location came from and how old it is.
Built with the community
The next step is a supervised pilot with women and local partners, testing comfort, coverage and response in practice.
Good questions.
Honest answers.
Is HathRS available to buy?
Not yet. This is a product and software proof of concept. The bracelet imagery is a design exploration, and the dashboard contains fictional data.
Does it work without a phone?
The intended LoRaWAN connection can send data without a nearby phone, but only through a compatible, configured gateway with working backhaul. Coverage must be measured for every deployment.
What if someone throws the band away?
Location from the band will follow the band, not necessarily the wearer. The response workspace shows this uncertainty explicitly. A connected phone could provide a separate location source if available and permitted.
Are the police or volunteers actually notified?
No. Actions in this demo only update your browser. Real notification delivery, identity verification and formal response agreements must be implemented and tested before a live pilot.
How can I explore the responder experience?
Open the demo and choose Responder access. Use the displayed demo account to acknowledge, assign, escalate and resolve fictional incidents. No personal information is needed.

What still needs testing
Battery life, water resistance, fit, location accuracy and radio coverage need prototype testing. Final pricing and network service costs are not confirmed.
