# Wearable Safety Devices The Shadow is a Personal Security Device That Gives You Peace of Mind By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-02-03 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-security-device References: [prnewswire](http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/servabo-launches-the-shadow-personal-security-device-on-indiegogo-300029845.html) & [indiegogo](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/shadow-a-wearable-safety-device) The Shadow is an innovative personal security device, developed by Servabo, that works with a companion app to send instant emergency notifications to your friends and family upon the push of a button. Notifications include information about your location. This personal security device is designed to help you out in situations where you feel threatened or find yourself in a potentially unsafe situation but don't have the luxury of making a phone call. With this device, all you have to do is push a button to notify others that you may need help. The Shadow is currently the subject of an Indiegogo campaign, with early-bird $25 pledge levels still available. If you ask me, $25 is a small price to pay for peace of mind for both yourself and your well-wishers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Wearable Security Devices:** The trend of wearable safety devices is becoming popular as people seek practical ways to enhance their safety and security. - **Emergency Notification Apps:** The development of emergency notification apps that can send location information is a key trend to keep people informed about the safety status of their loved ones. - **Crowdfunding Innovation:** Crowdfunding has disrupted traditional product development models by allowing inventors to secure seed funding without the backing of traditional investors. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Personal Security:** The personal security industry can benefit from investing in wearable devices that tap into the latest mobile and cloud technologies. - **Mobile Technology:** The mobile technology industry can leverage the growth of wearable devices and emergency notification apps to offer innovative services for personal safety. - **Crowdfunding Platforms:** Crowdfunding platforms such as Indiegogo offer an innovative way for inventors to raise money for ideas that can disrupt traditional industries such as personal security and mobile technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Employee-Focused Personal Safety Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-safety-devices.md) - [Connected Personal Safety Alarms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pom-safe.md) - [Location-Tracking Safety Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit-protect-gps-tracker.md) - [Portable Safety Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/armorsiren-portable-security-system.md) - [Emergency Alert Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protechme.md) - [Portable Emergency Alert Buttons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arlo-safe-button.md) - [Connected Personal Safety Alarms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switchbot-safety-alarm.md) - [Personal Security Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protector-app.md) - [Senior-Targeted Wearable Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifeline-canada.md)
