Manual Genius Alarm: Tapping calls for Help

In emergency situations, every second counts — and that includes the triggering of an alert.
In cases of fall accidents, No Motion, or electrical accidents, our ANGEL React systems activate within seconds. The Manual App Alarm in the app can also be triggered quickly — provided the phone is within reach. However, certain factors can delay activation, such as work gloves or wet fingers.

Thus, it has long been our goal to equip our ANGEL React systems with a kind of “emergency button” to make safety even more accessible for users.

This is why we developed the Manual Genius Alarm.

How does the Manual Genius Alarm work?

A manual emergency alarm can, of course, still be triggered via the SOS button in the app. But now, there’s an even more convenient option: direct activation via the Genius device itself. The Genius now responds to touch — tapping it several times initiates a visual and acoustic pre-alarm. If this pre-alarm is not stopped, an emergency alert is sent to the user’s emergency contacts.

False alarms? Not an issue.

To virtually eliminate the risk of false alarms, we invested significant time in the development and testing of the Manual Genius Alarm. Accidental activation due to vibrations or shocks does not occur.

And if someone does accidentally trigger the alarm — for example, by unintentionally tapping the Genius — it’s very easy to stop.

Simply remove the Genius briefly from its holder as soon as the visual and acoustic pre-alarm starts. Once the Genius is placed back onto its contacts, the pre-alarm is canceled, and the ANGEL React system continues to operate without interruption.

The Benefits at a Glance

The advantages of the Manual Genius Alarm are clear:

Speed: The emergency alarm can be triggered within seconds.
Usability: Unlike the manual app alarm, the Manual Genius Alarm can also be activated while wearing work gloves or with wet hands.
Operational Safety: If a false alarm is triggered, it can be easily and immediately stopped. Nothing happens, and both the system and work continue as usual.

Motionlessness Detection: These 3 Features Make It Reliable and Suitable for Everyday Use

The common belief is that emergencies in everyday (work) life are easy to detect. Even a smartphone can often determine whether a person is moving or motionless—and trigger an alarm if needed. But isn’t the smartphone often just lying somewhere out of reach, making it impossible to detect an emergency? And how well can such a device distinguish between motionlessness and focused, quiet work?
Why isn’t emergency detection always what it seems—and what does usability have to do with saving lives? Read our article to find out.
