Camera-Based Personal Safety Wearables

Camera-based personal safety wearables provide real-time situational awareness by monitoring the wearer's surroundings, particularly blind spots. These devices integrate miniature wide-angle cameras, computer vision algorithms, and alert systems into wearable form factors like necklaces, clips, or smart clothing.

The technology uses AI-powered object detection to identify human figures approaching from behind or unseen angles. Advanced implementations use depth sensing and gait analysis to distinguish between casual pedestrians and potential threats. When concerning patterns are detected, the system provides immediate alerts through haptic vibration, audio tones, or smartphone notifications. Privacy-conscious designs process video on-device without storing footage unless activated. Additional features include emergency broadcast, GPS location sharing, and integration with safety apps. The technology is valuable for individuals who walk, jog, or cycle alone, or work in isolated environments.
