Duress

Creating a safer environment for people.

When in need of emergency assistance, providing first responders with accurate location information is essential. Whether you need to comply with Occupation Health and Safety Requirements requirements for remote and lone workers, provide protection to students and faculty staff, assist the elderly, ensure the safety of contractors and employees, or provide safety for children, WiComply is there.

WiComply’s WiDuress App delivers real-time personal safety and security to individuals by transforming their mobile devices into a smart personal emergency system. Simply launching the WiDuress app will transmit GPS location, track movements, allow you to monitor surrounding audio and communicate with response teams, security and other group personal emergency contacts.

Complimenting our WiComply solution, the WiDuress app provides responders with an enhanced situational awareness, including instant User identification and profile information which can include anything from allergies, medical conditions, medications and any other information to make smarter and more informed decisions.

Key Features

Real-time location tracking

For the entire duration of a duress situation, WiDuress will keep responders informed about a User’s location and breadcrumb tracking of all movements.

Single Press Alert

With a single press of the WiDuress App button, an alert will be sent, where responders or emergency contacts can hear, track and communicate on an incident as it unfolds, effectively responding to threatening or potentially dangerous situations.

Safety Escort

When Users want comfort, or are engaging in remote or dangerous activity, they can activate timers which if not cancelled instantly trigger a duress situation alerting responders. Whilst timers are running, Users also have the ability to send an instant alert if they sense danger.

Safety Escort Activity Logging

Starting and Cancelling Safety Escort activity generates email notifications to responders automatically logging your activity, including date/time, expected duration of activity, activity description and location details.   All activity can be reported on within WiComply's reporting capability.

Boundary and time Controls

Through intelligent time-controlled geofence boundaries duress alerts are automatically sent to different responder groups based on where the User was when they sent their alert.   For the entire duration of a duress situation, WiDuress will keep these responders informed about the Users location and breadcrumb tracking of all movements.

Live communication

Upon receiving a duress alarm, responders can instantly acknowledge receipt, request a response and communicate through multi-channel messages, including SMS, Push and Email.

Scripted Responses

Intelligently linking to workflow response forms responders can send messages requesting pre-scripted Yes/No/Unsure responses in addition to free text, which allows Users to quickly and discreetly reply to responder questions.

Emergency Siren and Flashing Torch

During a duress situation User’s have the ability to activate an emergency siren and flashing torch to deter would-be attackers, act as a crime prevention deterrent or signal for help.

24/7 Safety Contacts

When outside geofenced boundaries or other time controls, Users are still able to activate duress alerts which are transmitted by SMS and Email messages to family and friends.

Automated Device Initiated Phone Call

Listen to surrounding audio to validate and manage a User's duress situation.

Offline Confidence

Once a Safety Escort timer has been set, WiComply provides confidence that if a device is damaged, turned off or experiences loss of connection that alerts will still be sent to responders.

Man-down and impact sensors

When establishing Users, you can select if you want to activate man-down and impact sensors. When activated, if the smartphone accelerometer detects a sudden movement, like a fall or shock, a combination of SMS, Email and Visual alert messages can be sent to responders for investigation.

Mass Broadcast Notifications

WiDuress Users can be instantly notified of at risk situations through SMS, Push and Email Notifications, and when combined with the WiComply Emergency Response Dashboard, responders can monitor real time delivery, receipt and responses.

Compliance Reports

Design your own reports capturing all Duress Alerts and Safety Escort activity to assist with your compliance requirements and other reporting needs.   Reports can be exported as Excel, Word, PDF, CSV and other major formats.

Professional Monitoring

Provide additional support to internal response teams through Business Risks International's 24/7 professional monitoring service.

Separate to the WiDuress App

WiComply can also monitor duress notifications received from Laipac Lola and S-911 Bracelet Devices.   If you have other device hardware your would like to incorporate please contact us.
