Wearsafe Labs Announces Release Of Innovative Wearable Personal Safety Device & App

HARTFORD, Conn. - May 26, 2015 - PRLog -- Wearsafe (www.wearsafe.com), a market innovator and leading developer of advanced mobile and wearable personal safety products, is proud to announce its initial product offering; the Wearsafe Tag, a product that will truly revolutionize the way you live your [whole] life…safely.

The Tag, which is available for pre-order, with its interactive app, is a small, wearable low-energy Bluetooth device that pairs seamlessly with a smartphone to instantly connect a person with their network of family and friends.  “Like the iPod in 2001 changed how we listen to music and the iPhone in 2007 changed how we communicate, the Wearsafe Tag will change how we connect and how we stay safe,” said Phill Giancarlo, Co-Founder of Wearsafe Labs.

With a range of up to 165 feet, one press of the Wearsafe Tag silently activates the Wearsafe app alert on your smartphone from across the room or across the street, even when you can’t reach the phone.  When activated, your selected network receives an alert through email, text and their Wearsafe app, a group chat is started, and your network can see where you are with the GPS information provided as well as hear audio from your location while users are given tactile confirmations.   If additional assistance is needed, help numbers are available for contacts to send a variety of support services.

“People instinctively want to be connected,” said David Benoit, Co-Founder of Wearsafe Labs.  “Wearsafe has spent more than three years developing technology that will change the landscape of how people live their lives.  One-touch connectivity keeps you safer wherever you are and more secure in whatever you’re doing.”

“The Wearsafe Tag is designed for peace of mind from a distance,” says Rebeccah Pailes-Friedman, the Principal of Interwoven Design Group.  Pailes-Friedman, who is also a Professor and founding director of the Intelligent Materials Applied Research & Innovation (IMARI) Lab at the Pratt Institute, has led the Research & Development efforts for Wearsafe and is creating a fashionable line of wearable accessories to compliment and personalize the Wearsafe Tag.  “This is a powerful product,” adds Pailes-Friedman.  “As a professor I feel like I am helping my students be safe.”

“This product can prevent the unthinkable from happening,” says Rich Staropoli, former United States Secret Service Special Agent.  “Research shows that 1 in 5 women will be a victim of sexual assault and abductions on college campuses during a typical four-year course of study.  My daughter is going to college in the fall.  This product should be on every college campus in America.”

Adaptable for your whole life from morning through night, the Wearsafe Tag is designed to fit into your varied lifestyle.  This innovative product is ideal for everyone, students, athletes, travelers and parents with small children.  Wear it a variety of ways or hide it completely, it’s your choice.  One-touch connectivity keeps you safer wherever you are and more secure in whatever you’re doing.

Can’t reach for your phone?  Reach for your Wearsafe Tag instead.  Safety for your [whole] life.
