Watchful i is a unique app that focuses on personal Safety and Peace of Mind. When we envisioned the app in 2021, we had three main issues in our minds, issues that needed attention or improvement...
1.

Concern about the safety and well-being of our loved ones.

We observed rising aggression, street violence, distrust of emergency responders, and the exploitation of vulnerable individuals, particularly women. To address these challenges, we aimed to empower people to feel more in control of their safety and reduce safety-related anxiety for both at-risk individuals and their loved ones.

2.

Reducing stress and boosting confidence

We leveraged our backgrounds in psychology and teaching to develop an app aimed at reducing stress and anxiety by addressing key issues like emergency preparedness, handling fear, and ensuring help is available. The app enhances peace of mind, self-confidence, and independence in managing everyday threats and unexpected situations.

3.

Incorporating proven safety management approaches

By studying emergency management strategies from around the world, we  developed our own Watchful I approach, including the key content stages which lead to swift and efficient assistance.  We call it the “RESCUE” model.
