SAFTEY: SafeAlert – A Real-Time Women's Safety System

Abstract-Ensuring women's safety in public and private spaces remains a pressing challenge in modern society. This project presents SAFTEY: SafeAlert, a real-time, IoT- based safety system designed to provide rapid response during potential threat scenarios. The system integrates embedded hardware components—such as a microcontroller, GPS, GSM modules, and sensors—with a mobile communication interface to detect distress signals and instantly transmit alerts. Upon activation via a physical button or gesture-based input, the device captures the user’s geolocation and transmits it to preconfigured emergency contacts via SMS. The system operates independently of internet connectivity, ensuring availability in remote or low-network areas. By automating the emergency alert process and enabling real-time tracking, SafeAlert enhances response time, reduces manual intervention, and empowers users with a reliable safety tool. The proposed solution is cost-effective, portable, and adaptable for integration into wearable devices, making it suitable for widespread deployment. This project contributes to the development of proactive safety technologies and addresses critical gaps in emergency response systems for vulnerable individuals.
