Here’s the translation into American English:
The startup FlamAid has launched FlamAid Pro, an enhanced version of its portable security device in keychain format, along with a new mobile application. This innovation aims to provide more comprehensive and intelligent protection, extending its functionalities beyond simple emergency responses and promoting community collaboration in critical situations.
The initial version of FlamAid was limited to activating a sound alarm and sending the user’s location to trusted contacts in case of an emergency. However, FlamAid Pro introduces a faster and more stable connection with mobile devices, as well as updatable firmware that will allow new functionalities to be added without the need for a physical replacement of the device.
One of the main features of the new application is that it not only notifies trusted contacts but also sends alerts to other nearby users and, optionally, to emergency services. The app automatically activates audio and video recording on the phone, which aims to deter potential aggressors and provide evidence in case of incidents.
The experience for those receiving the alert has been optimized with a coordination screen that shows the victim’s location in real time, a group chat to organize responses, and the ability to stream audio and video live from the emergency device. Julieta Rueff, founder and CEO of FlamAid, notes that these improvements transform their product from a simple panic button into a smart ecosystem that empowers users and enhances community protection.
In addition to emergency alerts, the new application includes preventive tools. Its trusted circle feature allows real-time location sharing, settings for automatic alerts when entering or leaving designated areas, and planning safe routes using a community data-based safety map. It also issues proactive alerts when approaching areas deemed unsafe and offers a personal safety index, as well as parental controls to manage accounts for children under 14 years old.
Since its launch in November 2024, FlamAid has sold over 4,000 devices in eleven countries, with a predominantly female user profile and vulnerable groups. The startup has successfully established itself in markets such as Spain, Portugal, Colombia, Croatia, Ecuador, and Uruguay. In addition to its security device, FlamAid offers customized cases, chargers, and other products designed to enhance safety during nighttime leisure activities.
Based in Barcelona, FlamAid is dedicated to developing technology solutions that prioritize personal and community safety, aiming to turn individual security into a collective response through prevention and citizen collaboration.
