Nimb
- Pre-Seed
Nimb has developed a solution to send an alert signal to your pre-selected contacts via a ring with a panic button and an application on a smartphone. Nimb is also an online security platform that creates safer environments and connects people to all parties in the security sector.
We are making the world a safer place. We are doing this by providing people with a solution that calls for help in case of emergency. This solution will be able to recognize an emergency and automatically call for the responsible party.
Nimb’s first product is the ring with a panic button to send emergency alerts to pre-set list of contacts including friends and relatives, emergency services, members of Nimb community nearby.
This is the only device you can use to call for help in emergencies even if both of your hands are held.
It looks great for everyday wear with any outfit, it fits any style and complement your image, but it’s smart and will help you save valuable time in emergency and let others know when you need help.
Press the button, hold it for three seconds — the ring will gently vibrate giving you the feedback. After three seconds the alert is active, messages with your GPS location and your profile details are being sent to the contacts you’ve set in the application. Nimb app allows all the notified groups to communicate and coordinate the response around the world.
We want to create a Community of well trained Nimb members all around the world who will be able to provide emergency help much faster and cheaper than ever before.
This is how we involve people all over the world who wants to feel safe and to help others to become so. With the help of modern technologies: our wearable devices and mobile app, - we will build and grow community of people who entrust their safety to technologies and communicate with each other through our app.
Your safety and safety of your loved ones are the most important things in your life.
Unfortunately, everyone of us has at least once felt worried or afraid because of safety issues. 1 in 3 women worldwide say they feel unsafe walking alone in their communities at night. Every second someone on the Earth is victimized. Current women personal security solutions have issues with delays in response times, inability to communicate in certain situations and lack of critical information. Our ring allows to send an alert with a touch of a finger in cases where other devices are useless.
Nimb saves critical time and improves response times: FCC estimates number of lives that could be saved by a one-minute reduction in emergency response times as 10 000 lives. Nimb improves the response times and outcomes by notifying the closest responders.
Our platform provides the most complete and continuous information to all parties. And our next step is to anticipate emergencies and reduce emergency response with new data & AI.
In accordance with the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals to transform our world and in particular Goal 11 “make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable” our product builds safer communities by instantly connecting individuals in need of help to the closest emergency responders. As already mentioned one-minute reduction in emergency response can save 10 000 lives. And this is what we are doing. Our target audience is females who want to feel safe and relaxed when going about their daily lives. Sending an emergency signal to friends, family, members of Nimb community is free and available everywhere in the world.
