PHC MAXWELL's tymo ring: Reimagining Personal Safety with Smart Technology

BELLEVUE, WA – October 26, 2023 – PHC MAXWELL LLC, a Bellevue, Washington-based tech company focused on innovative safety solutions, today launched its highly anticipated tymo ring, a wearable device designed to provide a discreet yet powerful layer of personal security. We’re a team of engineers and safety enthusiasts, and frankly, we felt there was a gap in the market. Most personal safety devices are clunky, obvious, and you only use them after something bad is happening. We wanted something proactive, something you barely notice, and something that could help prevent a dangerous situation from escalating. That’s what led us to the tymo ring. So, what is the tymo ring? It’s a sleek, comfortable ring packed with smart technology. It’s not your grandma’s panic button. It’s designed to be worn daily, blending seamlessly into your lifestyle. Think of it as a silent guardian, always on alert, always ready to help. How does it work? The core of the tymo ring is its simple yet effective safety mechanism: a customizable gesture-activated emergency alert. Users pre-program a specific, discreet gesture – a double-tap, a long press, even a unique combination – through the companion app (available on iOS and Android). When that gesture is performed, the ring instantly triggers a multi-faceted emergency response. “We intentionally avoided requiring you to fumble with buttons or scream into a device,” explains Sarah Chen, Head of Product Development at PHC MAXWELL. “In a stressful situation, fine motor skills can diminish. The gesture-based activation is intuitive and reliable, even under duress.” Here’s what happens when the gesture is activated: Silent Alarm: The ring itself doesn’t make a sound, so the potential attacker isn't alerted. Immediate Notifications: The companion app instantly sends notifications to your pre-selected emergency contacts. You can add family, friends, or even security services. Location Sharing: The app automatically shares your real-time location with those contacts, providing crucial information for assistance. Audio Recording & Live Streaming (Optional): For an extra layer of security, users can enable optional audio recording and live streaming to their contacts. This provides a direct auditory link to the situation, allowing contacts to assess the urgency and relay information to emergency services. We designed this feature with privacy in mind – it's strictly opt-in and data is securely encrypted. Emergency Services Integration: Through the app, users can also directly connect to emergency services (911 in the US, and equivalent in other regions). Beyond Emergency Alerts: A Versatile Safety Tool The tymo ring isn’t just for crisis situations. PHC MAXWELL has integrated several features to make it a valuable everyday safety companion: “Check-In” Feature: Users can set up automatic “check-in” requests through the app. If they don’t respond within a set timeframe, the app automatically alerts their emergency contacts. This is perfect for solo walkers, runners, or anyone who wants an extra layer of security while traveling. Fall Detection: The ring includes advanced sensors that can detect sudden falls. If a fall is detected and the user doesn’t respond, the app will automatically alert their emergency contacts. This is especially useful for seniors or individuals with medical conditions. Discreet Assistance Signaling: Imagine you’re in an uncomfortable situation, but not necessarily in immediate danger. You can use the pre-programmed gesture to discreetly signal for help from a friend or family member without drawing attention to yourself. Customizable Settings: Users have full control over the ring’s settings, including notification preferences, emergency contact lists, and the activation gesture. Designed for Comfort and Durability PHC MAXWELL understands that a wearable safety device needs to be comfortable and durable. The tymo ring is crafted from hypoallergenic, medical-grade silicone and titanium, making it lightweight, comfortable to wear all day, and resistant to scratches and water damage. It’s available in a range of sizes and colors to suit individual preferences. The battery lasts for up to three days on a single charge, and it recharges wirelessly on a compact charging pad.
