Personal Notification Device
Clear, timely communication is critical in any environment. Our personal notification device is a wearable smart watch that alerts the wearer through vibration, visual indicators, and optional tones, ensuring routine and emergency messages are seen – regardless of the situation or environment.
Built on universal design principles, the system adds a personal layer of communication that supports inclusive safety practices and aligns with industry standards.
Standards-Aligned Safety and Accessibility
The smart watch is thoughtfully designed to align with widely recognized safety and emergency communication guidelines. By delivering plain-text alerts directly to the wrist, the smart watch complements traditional audio systems and supports more inclusive routine and emergency communication.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
ADA requires public entities to ensure that communication with individuals with disabilities is as effective as communication with others. This includes providing appropriate auxiliary aids and services when necessary to give individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from programs, services, and activities.
National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA)
NEMA guidance emphasizes that emergency communications should be clear, reliable, and accessible to all occupants. To meet diverse needs, including those of people with hearing impairments, notifications should go beyond audible alerts and incorporate visual indicators, vibrations, or other alternative methods. By supporting multiple communication channels, emergency messages are more likely to be recognized and acted upon in a variety of environments and conditions.
Partners Alliance for Safer Schools (PASS)
PASS guidelines promote layered, reliable communication as a critical component of school safety. The PASS recommendations emphasize clear, timely, and redundant notification methods that ensure emergency messages reach staff and students wherever they are on campus. This includes supporting multiple communication pathways, prioritizing urgent alerts, and enabling targeted messaging to specific groups when needed.
By aligning with these widely recognized safety and accessibility standards, the smart watch provides more than compliance – it delivers practical capabilities that strengthen communication every day.
Plain-Text Messaging That Removes Barriers
Text-based alerts deliver clear information directly to the smart watch, making messages easy to see in both routine and urgent situations. By reducing reliance on audio-only communication, this approach removes barriers, improves overall clarity, and adds a layer of redundancy to day-to-day and emergency notification systems.
Priority-Based Alerts That Improve Response
The smart watch supports both everyday notifications and high-priority alerts, including emergency, security, and lockdown messages. This structured approach helps users quickly recognize the importance of each message and respond appropriately.
Targeted Messaging for the Right Audience
Users can be organized into groups so messages reach only those who need them. Targeted delivery improves relevance, reduces distractions, and keeps communication focused.
Multi-Sensory Alerts That Get Attention
Visual indicators, vibration, and optional audible cues work together to ensure messages are noticed. Multiple alert methods support inclusive communication across a wide range of environments.
Clear Message Display with Easy Review
Messages are shown on a bright, easy-to-read screen for quick viewing. Previously received messages are stored for later review, supporting clarity and confidence.
Simple, Comfortable Design for Daily Use
A touch-enabled interface makes navigation intuitive and efficient. The lightweight, durable design supports comfortable wear throughout the day.
Centralized Management That Scales Easily
Messaging is managed through a centralized system that supports consistent communication across a single building or multiple sites. The solution scales without adding complexity.
Coverage That Moves With the User
The watch uses a transmitter connected to the facility network to deliver messages across the site, including outdoor areas. Watches automatically remain connected as users move throughout the facility. When users enter another transmitter-enabled location, the watch can automatically connect to continue receiving alerts.
Designed for Real-World Environments
Wearable messaging supports communication wherever people work, learn, and gather. In loud settings like manufacturing floors, visual alerts ensure messages are seen when audio may be missed. In large or complex facilities, personal alerts help ensure messages reach individuals wherever they are.
No Recurring Fees for Long-Term Value
The smart watch operates without ongoing subscription fees, giving organizations long-term value with predictable costs.
