Abstract
Women are the epitome of strength, resilience, and compassion. Their contributions to society, in every sphere of life, are immeasurable and invaluable. Women possess an innate ability to nurture, inspire, and lead with grace and determination. Despite their immeasurable contributions, women continue to face alarming levels of insecurity and vulnerability. The issue of women’s safety remains a pressing concern in our society. From the streets to their own homes, women are exposed to various forms of harassment, violence, and discrimination. The fear of walking alone at night or being subjected to assault restricts their freedom and hampers their ability to fully participate in public life. Women’s safety has emerged as a highly sought-after research area in recent years. However, current solutions on wearable devices often rely on manual activation through buttons or physical intervention, such as buzzing devices, to alert others in times of danger. While these methods have provided some level of assistance, they often require the victim to take specific actions, which may not always be feasible or safe in high-risk situations. Utilizing state-of-the-art IoT and embedded systems, our research paper presents an innovative and convenient solution that eliminates the need for manual intervention. By seamlessly detecting vital physiological changes, such as heart rate and stress levels, our technology automatically triggers a swift notification to both the individual’s immediate family members and relevant authorities. The key innovation lies in the seamless integration of these features, eliminating the need for manual intervention and ensuring timely responses to potential threats. This hands-free method establishes a new benchmark for safety solutions, offering women in potentially hazardous circumstances ease, assurance, and improved safety precautions. Our innovative technology creates a world where fear gives way to unwavering confidence and serenity in the face of challenges. By prioritizing women’s safety, we are paving the way for empowerment and a profound sense of security. Together, we can build a future where women can navigate their lives with peace of mind and a renewed sense of strength.
