S.O.S. Helmet / Case study

Safety, made accessible.

S.O.S. Helmet brings together NFC, web, mobile and future hardware to make a rider's chosen emergency information available when it matters.

S.O.S. Helmet

The challenge

In an emergency, personal contacts and information need to be accessible without relying on the rider being able to unlock a phone. At the same time, visibility of this information must remain under the rider's control.

What is live

  • Website and emergency NFC profile
  • User-controlled NFC availability and privacy
  • Medical profiles and account management

What is being built

  • NFC V2 prototype after first-prototype learnings
  • Mobile app V1, preparing for Google Play
  • Separate admin panel, currently in testing
  • MotoTracker hardware prototype after a simulated phase

One ecosystem, four connected parts.

Website & NFC

Emergency profiles, NFC management and e-commerce.

Mobile app

Profiles, realtime rides, motorcycle care and privacy controls.

Admin

Orders, shipping, costs, stats and operations.

MotoTracker

Future movement and fall detection, under development.

Mobile app

The road, connected.

The app supports riders before, during and after a ride, from realtime group rides to motorcycle maintenance.

V1 · preparing for Google Play

Ride together
Location sharing over WebSocket, ride leader handover and group alerts. Members notify the leader, who decides what to share with everyone.
Care for your motorcycle
Mileage, maintenance reminders and expenses. Custom checklists with selected days for automations.
Control your data
Medical profiles, NFC management and ecosystem status. Social routes with hidden starts and ends, plus data export and deletion.

MotoTracker

From simulation to the motorcycle.

MotoTracker is the ecosystem's next step: bringing movement and fall detection to a dedicated motorcycle device.

In development · first hardware prototype

Today: simulated phase
Tracker behaviour is being developed in simulation. The first hardware prototype is the next step.
Goal: movement and falls
Features under development, to be verified on the physical prototype before they can be considered operational.
Part of the ecosystem
The device is intended to work with the app, backend and automatic control of NFC availability.

Privacy is a product feature.

Users control NFC availability and can export or delete their own data. Route sharing is designed with privacy controls, including the option to hide start and end distances.

My role

Product direction, full-stack development and coordination across web, mobile, backend and the evolving hardware layer.
