B10 Smart Emergency Button
The B10 is a wearable beacon in a wristband form factor, with a dedicated emergency button, aimed at smart healthcare and emergency response. It combines Bluetooth LE with an NFC function and integrates with the Quuppa AoA system, enabling high-accuracy indoor navigation and location.
In an emergency, the user calls for help with a simple press of the button, while caregivers follow the movement and status of the wearer in real time. It also supports Wirepas Mesh and is a Red Dot award winner.
How It Works
The panic button triggers a call for help with a single press, responding with vibration to confirm the action. This tactile feedback makes the device especially friendly to users with visual or hearing impairments, ensuring self-awareness and a fast response even without audible or visual cues.
In parallel, the B10 transmits its position for high-accuracy indoor location, letting the response team quickly identify where the user is.
The built-in vibration motor confirms every button press, offering immediate feedback without relying on audio or visuals.
