204 - Safewave's Wearable Tech Aims to Bridge the Gap for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Communities


Listen Later

Dave Kemp interviews Trevon Bruch, the founder of Safewave, a startup creating a Bluetooth-enabled wristband connecting to smart home and security devices, enabling discreet vibration alerts over auditory notifications.

Trevon shares Safewave's origin story driven by a mission to offer accessible tech solutions, especially for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community, detailing the extensive R&D, partnerships, and community input influencing Safewave's evolution over five years.
One of the key highlights is Safewave's ability to seamlessly integrate with a wide range of smart devices, from doorbells and baby monitors to workplace security systems. This versatility allows users to customize their notification preferences and create a tailored, haptic-based awareness system. Trevon also touches on the potential applications of Safewave for caregivers, individuals with cognitive impairments, and other groups who can benefit from discreet, wearable alerts.
After more than 5 years of development, Safewave is poised to launch in May 2024. You can visit the company's website to learn more: https://safewavetech.com/
