# Location-Tracking Self-Defense Devices The Taser Pulse+ Calls for Help When Used By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2018-11-20 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taser-pulse References: [coolthings](https://www.coolthings.com/taser-pulse-plus-connected-stun-self-defense-weapon/) & [buy.taser](https://buy.taser.com) The Taser Pulse+ is a compact piece of [self-defense equipment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-safety-technology) that has been created with optimal safety in mind to offer users an enhanced sense of security when walking after dark or in new locations. The device works by [sending your location to the authorities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-emergency-alert-system) when fired to provide additional security rather than leaving users to fend for themselves after encountering a dangerous group or individual. The wireless connectivity will keep the device connected to the [accompanying app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protector-app) to ensure help is called for immediately after deployment instead of requiring the user to do so manually. The Taser Pulse+ stun gun is focused on incapacitating an attacker rather than using lethal force to give the user a chance to get away unscathed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Location-tracking Self-defense Devices:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Develop new self-defense devices with built-in location tracking capabilities to enhance user safety and provide immediate help in emergencies. - **Optimal Safety in Self-defense Equipment:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Create self-defense equipment that prioritizes user safety by incorporating wireless connectivity and automatic alerts to authorities. - **Non-lethal Incapacitating Self-defense Technologies:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Explore innovative ways to incapacitate attackers without using lethal force, giving victims a chance to escape unharmed. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Personal Safety Technology:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Develop advanced personal safety technologies that integrate smart features like location tracking and wireless connectivity. - **Mobile App Development:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Create mobile apps that enable immediate emergency response by integrating with self-defense devices and automatically notifying authorities. - **Self-defense Equipment Manufacturing:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Innovate in the manufacturing of self-defense equipment to prioritize user safety, incorporate non-lethal incapacitating technologies, and enhance overall effectiveness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Location-Tracking Safety Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit-protect-gps-tracker.md) - [Connected Personal Safety Alarms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pom-safe.md) - [Portable Safety Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/armorsiren-portable-security-system.md) - [Connected Personal Safety Alarms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switchbot-safety-alarm.md) - [Anti-Stalking App Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tile.md) - [Emergency Alert Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protechme.md) - [Smart Safety Flashlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timeli-flashlight.md) - [Employee-Focused Personal Safety Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-safety-devices.md) - [Portable Defibrillators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-defibrillator.md)
