From Silent SOS to Smart Safety - A lifeline, worn on your finger
In moments of danger, asking for help should not depend on finding, unlocking or operating a phone.
For the next edition of AAIA’s ShoAIcase, we are joined by the founders of Wualt, an early-stage startup building a smart ring designed around personal safety.
Co-founders Sunil George Solomon and Rohan Shaji Thomas will take us behind the development of Wualt—from identifying the problem and designing for high-pressure situations to transforming a safety concept into a functional wearable product.
The session will explore:
How can wearable technology make access to help more immediate and discreet?
What does it take to design a product that people must be able to rely on in critical moments?
How do hardware, software and human-centred design come together in a safety-focused device?
What are the realities of building and bringing an early-stage hardware product to market?
This session is relevant for founders, product builders, AI and technology professionals, investors, and anyone interested in wearable technology, personal safety and applied innovation.
Join us for a practical founder-led conversation on building technology for the moments when it matters most.
