Existing emergency systems are slow, difficult to activate under stress, and rely entirely on the person in danger to navigate complex steps. WOTO is reimagining that.
When someone is in danger, they may have only seconds to call for help. Traditional emergency calls require unlocking a phone, dialing, and communicating a location — a process that's nearly impossible under panic, physical restraint, or in situations where silence is critical.
Existing wearables are bulky, app-only solutions are fragmented, and general SOS devices are expensive and inaccessible. There's a clear gap between the technology available today and what people actually need.
A world where every person — regardless of age, technical literacy, or situation — has instant, frictionless access to safety. WOTO envisions personal safety technology that is as natural and invisible as wearing a watch.
To build the most reliable, accessible, and intelligent personal safety system in existence — combining hardware and software so that activating emergency help requires nothing more than a single action.
We pair a compact hardware chip with an intelligent mobile application, creating an interconnected safety ecosystem. The chip handles the critical hardware layer. The app manages contacts, alerts, and emergency data. Together, they work when it matters most.
Safety should not be a privilege for the few. WOTO is building toward a future where every person, everywhere, has a trusted layer of protection that responds without hesitation.
We believe the next generation of personal safety requires both intelligence (software, AI) and physical reliability (hardware). WOTO builds both — and connects them seamlessly.
The WOTO app is the intelligence layer of your personal safety system. It manages contacts, alerts, emergency information, and your hardware chip — all in one place.
One-tap emergency activation triggers immediate alerts to trusted contacts and emergency protocols.
Designate up to 5 emergency contacts who receive instant alerts with your location and situation.
Real-time location sharing activates automatically during an emergency, with route history.
Contacts receive multi-channel alerts — SMS, app notification, and in-app — ensuring the message gets through.
Set and share your safety status. Contacts know you're safe when it matters, and alerted when you're not.
Store medical information, blood group, allergies, and emergency contacts for first responders.
Sync WOTO with low-power physical buttons or keyfobs to trigger instant SOS alerts with a single click without unlocking your phone.
Critical emergency data is transmitted automatically — your profile, location, and alert — with no manual input needed.
WOTO is designed to compress the gap between an emergency and a response to the absolute minimum. Here's how the system works.
The user activates WOTO through the app's SOS button or the physical WOTO hardware chip — a single deliberate action.
The hardware chip communicates with the WOTO app and ecosystem, establishing a connection and transmitting the emergency signal.
Emergency information — including your location, identity, medical profile, and emergency contacts — is assembled and processed instantly.
Trusted contacts and the appropriate support network receive the alert, your location, and your emergency profile — and can act immediately.
