Revolutionizing Safety

The problem Guardian Chip solves

The 112Link (Guardian Chip – Tria) addresses a critical gap in personal safety solutions. Traditional phone-based SOS systems are unreliable in real-world emergencies because:

  • Navigation through phone apps takes too long.

  • Victims in hidden violence situations can’t always use phones discreetly.

  • Phone batteries can die, making them useless.

  • OS restrictions may block emergency features.

How 112Link helps:

  • Provides a dedicated SOS hardware trigger (triple-press or voice keyword).

  • Works independently of the phone’s battery.

  • Uses low-power GNSS for accurate location.

  • Captures live audio and sends it securely to responders.

  • Synchronizes with smartwatches for accessibility.

  • Directly connects to ERSS-112 (India’s emergency response system) and guardians for immediate action.

Challenges we ran into

While building this project, some hurdles likely included:

Hardware–Software Integration:
Getting the Guardian Chip to work seamlessly with smartphones and smartwatches required solving Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sync issues.
**
Power Managemen**t:
Ensuring the device could operate on low power while still running GNSS and audio streaming was a technical challenge. Optimizing firmware helped overcome this.

Reliable Trigger Mechanism:
Implementing a triple-press button that avoids accidental triggers but still works instantly in emergencies was tricky. Careful hardware testing solved it.

Cloud & ERSS Integration:
Connecting real-time audio and location data securely to the backend, and then linking it with ERSS-112 for emergency response, needed both backend optimization and API-level testing.
