The alarming rise in women abuse and violence against women highlights the urgent need for smart, tech-driven safety solutions. This capstone project introduces a novel sensor-based system integrated with a smart waist belt and a mobile application to enhance real-time protection for women. The belt uses advanced sensors—such as accelerometers, and pressure sensors—to detect distress through sudden movements or abnormal pressure patterns. When triggered, the system sends an automatic alert containing the user’s real-time GPS location and a distress message to pre-configured emergency contacts. A loud alarm can also be activated to attract attention and deter potential attackers. The mobile application, developed using Android studio, allows users to customize sensitivity levels, manage emergency contacts, and monitor alerts through a user-friendly interface. This integrated hardware-software solution aims to offer a reliable, scalable, and proactive tool for personal safety, empowering women and contributing to broader efforts in reducing violence and abuse.

The alarming rise in women abuse and violence against women highlights the urgent need for smart, tech-driven safety solutions. This capstone project introduces a novel sensor-based system integrated with a smart waist belt and a mobile application to enhance real-time protection for women. The belt uses advanced sensors—such as accelerometers, and pressure sensors—to detect distress through sudden movements or abnormal pressure patterns. When triggered, the system sends an automatic alert containing the user’s real-time GPS location and a distress message to pre-configured emergency contacts. A loud alarm can also be activated to attract attention and deter potential attackers. The mobile application, developed using Android studio, allows users to customize sensitivity levels, manage emergency contacts, and monitor alerts through a user-friendly interface. This integrated hardware-software solution aims to offer a reliable, scalable, and proactive tool for personal safety, empowering women and contributing to broader efforts in reducing violence and abuse.
