A Community-Centered Safety Innovation

RescueLink is a community-centered safety innovation that combines IoT, AI, and LoRaWAN communication to create an affordable, reliable, and scalable SOS detection and response network. The system detects distress situations — such as accidents, crashes, or manual panic triggers — and instantly transmits alerts to a central monitoring hub through long-range wireless communication, ensuring timely response even in remote areas. Designed to enhance public safety, women’s protection, and elderly care, RescueLink represents a fusion of engineering excellence and humanitarian purpose.
