LifePatch project

About Us

Our goal is to make sea safer for everyone. Our dedicated team is working on solution to make IoT smart device that calls help with single button click and helps sea-rescue teams find people times faster. When exact location is known rescue time can be reduced 3-4x. We also provide our devices with visible blinking led-light (to help rescue reach faster in dark). We use latest available IoT/mobile networks and GPS satellites technology to get most available distances. Our devices have 0 energy consumption until activated (no need for charge).
