Maximizing Battery Performance in Wearable Panic Buttons with Bluetooth Low Energy Technology

Development of a power-efficient, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)-based wearable panic button, designed to extend battery life while ensuring reliable emergency connectivity.

At a Glance

SolusGuard, a leader in lone worker safety technology, sought to improve the power efficiency of its wearable panic button to provide longer battery life and seamless emergency communication. This device is critical for workers in isolated or high-risk environments, such as homecare professionals, probation officers, and property managers.

Advanced Design for Increased Battery Life

Amotus collaborated with SolusGuard to develop a patented wearable panic button that leverages Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, a low-power ARM microcontroller, and optimized power management circuits to extend battery life while maintaining reliable smartphone connectivity. The device is comfortable for continuous wear and designed to offer robust functionality without frequent recharges.

The Main Challenges of the Project:

  • Develop a compact, power-efficient wearable device for continuous operation.
  • Optimize battery usage through smart power management techniques.
  • Ensure reliable, low-power communication via BLE technology, leveraging the user’s smartphone for LTE connectivity.
  • Design a compact, user-friendly wearable device suitable for long shifts in high-risk environments.
