Personal Alarm Watch

Could Save Deaf People

— March 12, 2007 — Tech
The Personal Alarm Watch designed by Nikita Golovlev could be a true life saver by sensing vital measures like fire alarms to alert the user by vibration and flashing lights.

Implications - Security has gotten more advanced with burglar alarms and motion sensors; however, like most technology, smaller and more convenient is often better. While the featured product is still a concept, it's a useful one nonetheless and it may very well be the future of security should it come into fruition. Perhaps forms of protection will come in small sizes, but be just as equally effective. This could potentially apply to a variety of different products, which are smaller in size, but have big impacts.
Trend Themes
1. Personal Alarm Technology - Developing personal alarm technology that can sense and alert users of external dangers through vibration and flashing lights presents opportunities for more advanced and intuitive security systems.
2. Convenient Protective Devices - The need for smaller yet powerful protective devices such as Nikita Golovlev's Personal Alarm Watch presents opportunities for innovation in miniaturization of security systems and personal protective devices.
3. Accessible Protection for All - The Personal Alarm Watch designed for deaf people presents disruptive innovation opportunities for industries to create protective products that are accessible and inclusive to all, regardless of disabilities.
Industry Implications
1. Security Industry - The security industry can benefit from developing personal alarm technology that can sense and alert users of external dangers through vibration and flashing lights, as well as from innovating and miniaturizing security systems.
2. Medical Devices Industry - The medical devices industry can explore opportunities in creating devices that are more accessible and inclusive of people with disabilities, such as the Personal Alarm Watch designed for deaf people.
3. Personal Protective Equipment Industry - The personal protective equipment industry can benefit from creating smaller yet powerful protective devices such as Nikita Golovlev's Personal Alarm Watch, which presents disruptive innovation opportunities for miniaturization and inclusive designs.
