Detection & Monitoring

Six Ways to Detect Danger

Heartbeat doesn't wait for you to press a button. It watches, listens, and acts.

Fall Detection
Accelerometer + gyroscope sensor fusion with audio thud detection. Adaptive sampling: idle at 10Hz, active at 50Hz. Apple Watch integration at 0.95 confidence bypasses check-in and goes straight to confirmed alert.
Voice Commands
"Hey Heartbeat" wake word, always on, processed on-device. Say "help" to trigger escalation. Say "I'm going for a run" to switch to enhanced monitoring. Wake word followed by silence triggers distress analysis.
Panic Button
Two triggers: 2-second screen hold with progress ring, or 3x volume-down within 2 seconds. Hardware panic activates silent mode β€” dark screen, no audio, no visible indication the phone just called for help.
Heart Rate Monitoring
Connects to Apple Watch, Fitbit, or Android Health Connect. Extreme heart rate detection triggers escalation. 60/40 phone/wearable confidence weighting with auto-reconnect.
Activity Awareness
Switches between idle and active monitoring modes. Higher sensor sampling and audio buffer during exercise or outdoor activity. Voice-triggered context switching.
Audio Capture
10-second rolling buffer captures audio before the trigger event. 60 seconds post-trigger at 44.1kHz. Audio context sent with the emergency payload so responders hear what happened.

3-Level Escalation

Check. Alert. Dispatch.

Each level waits 30 seconds. At any point, say "I'm okay" or press cancel. If you don't respond, it escalates. Automatically.

1
Voice Check-In
30 seconds
"Are you okay?" Heartbeat asks out loud. Respond to cancel. Silence or no response escalates to Level 2.
2
Contact & Family Alerts
30 seconds
Phone calls and SMS to your emergency contacts in priority order. Family circle members receive alerts with real-time status updates.
3
Emergency Dispatch
30 seconds
RapidSOS API transmits your location, medical history, sensor data, and audio context directly to emergency services. Falls back to direct phone call if API fails.

Silent Mode

Three presses of the volume button. No screen change. No sound. No vibration. No visible indication the phone just did anything.

Skips Level 1. Goes straight to contact alerts and dispatch. The screen stays dark. Audio stays off. GPS, medical history, and ambient audio are transmitted silently.

Designed for domestic abuse situations, threats on the street, or any moment where being seen calling for help would make things worse.

Family Features

Keep Each Other Safe

Heartbeat isn't just for the person carrying the phone. It connects families so everyone knows everyone is okay.

Family Circles
Create circles of up to 5 members. Invite by email or shareable link. Each member controls their own privacy settings β€” what they share and when.
Emergency Alerts
When escalation hits Level 2, every circle member gets an alert with real-time status updates: active, cancelled, or resolved. Non-app members get SMS.
Follow Me
Time-limited location sharing β€” 15 minutes to 4 hours. Real-time map. Countdown timer. 5-minute expiry warning. Automatically stops. Perfect for "I'm walking home now."
Privacy by Default
Default sharing level: Emergency Only. No one sees your location, medical data, or audio unless there's an actual emergency β€” or you explicitly choose to share.

Graceful Degradation

It Works When Things Don't

Safety technology can't fail when conditions aren't perfect. Heartbeat keeps working no matter what's missing.

No network
Detection and escalation continue. Data queued and synced on reconnect.
No wearable
Phone-only detection. Settings show "unavailable" not "error."
Watch disconnects
Falls back to phone sensors. User notified once.
Location denied
Alert proceeds without location. Better to send help without GPS than not at all.
RapidSOS fails
Immediate direct call to emergency services. No waiting.
Duress situation
Silent mode. Dark screen. No audio. Vibration only.
