Silent.
Signal.
Sentinel.

SheShield Sentinel is a phone-independent wearable that lets her alert trusted people before a situation becomes an emergency. Dedicated Cellular (LTE-M) and GNSS right on the wrist.

“She simply wants someone she trusts to know where she is and be ready.”
A proactive safety model

One quiet device.
Three clear states.

01

SAFE

Normal operation. Low power, ready, with trusted contacts already configured on device.

02

WATCH

A discreet triple press shares live location. No loud alarm, completely silent, and always cancellable.

03

EMERGENCY

A long press locks GNSS, records available evidence and alerts trusted contacts via Cellular (LTE-M).

Privacy is part of safety.

SheShield is intentionally designed to create a useful record only when the wearer asks for help. No passive surveillance, no ambient snooping.

01

Evidence only after a user-triggered event

02

User-configured trusted contacts only

03

End-to-end encrypted cellular transmission

04

Authenticated guardian-only dashboard access

05

Strict limited retention with automatic purge

06

Zero continuous recording or background surveillance

07

Environmental context, never biometric identification

Real-world use

Designed around the moment.

Scenario 01 · Evening commute

She feels followed after work. A discreet triple press quietly starts Safety Watch and streams live location to Mom without escalating tension.

Anticipated RiskArchitectural Mitigation
Accidental activationSilent cancellation window and haptic vibration feedback
No cellular coverageStore-and-forward local event buffering flushed upon reconnection
Battery drainUltra-low-power standby mode, activating high-drain GPS only during events
Wearer privacyTrigger-bound evidence capture, strict retention policies, no continuous audio
Sensor ambiguityContextual metadata only (thermal presence), never biometric identification
Voice keyword failurePhysical crown tactile gestures remain the primary, fail-safe trigger
What we are not claiming

Credibility means naming the limits.

Cannot predict attacks before intention exists01
Thermal sensors cannot identify individuals or faces02
No guaranteed cellular connectivity in deep basements03
No automated police dispatch without guardian escalation04
AI will not independently make life-critical judgements05
The core safety path never requires a paired smartphone06

These technical limits make the prototype engineering credible, responsible, and practical for real deployment.

Build the core first.
