Anyone who's attended a busy party understands the struggle of finding your friends in a crowd, but thanks to the RADR bracelet, you can find your friends with the click of a button. The Bluetooth wristband also includes a panic button, so if wearers feel unsafe at any point, they can notify their friends to locate them.
The RADR also includes a companion app to allow users to track their friends through their smartphones. If, however, your phone dies, the Bluetooth wristband can be independently paired with another friend's device or can help you locate them using the color-coded location finder. The device will indicate if you are 100 meters or further from your friend in need by signaling red, and if you are closer than 100 meters, the wristband will light up green.
