    Kota girl develops device that sends distress calls without Internet

    Kota girl develops device that sends distress calls without Internet

    Kota girl develops device that sends distress calls without Internet

    A Class 12 girl in Kota has developed a safety device that can be attached to a women's wristwatch to help her send emergency alerts to family members in case she is threatened or assaulted without the Internet. Bhavya Agrawal said that she has uploaded the details of the project in Namo App as she needs funding to compress the device into nano size.

    Why did Bhavya plan to develop such device?

    "The rising incidents of crime against women drove me to focus on developing a device for their safety through which they could seek instant help in time of need and if required can be under family's surveillance," said 17-year-old Bhavya.

    Taking help from YouTube, Bhavya developed the device

    Taking help from YouTube, Bhavya eventually developed the device, which, without Internet or data connection, sends an alert and location navigation through GPS to family members of a woman in emergency situations. Bhavya said the GPS module in the device is directly connected to the Global Positioning System satellite which allows it to send or receive messages and calls without Internet connection.

    Wearer just needs to push button to send message: Bhavya

    A GPS device can instantaneously give one's exact position and time, almost anywhere on the planet, for free. A person only needs a GPS receiver for that. "A woman just needs to push a button to send the message that would be delivered to family members' mobile phones within 10 seconds. It has a second button to make a call," Bhavya said.

    Device would work even in bad weather conditions, claims Bhavya

    Currently, the device weighs about 500 grams, Bhavya said. The device, equipped with GPS, GSM module, audio receiver, and transmission, would work even in bad weather conditions, she added.
