PFO Bodyguard Bracelet

PFO's mission is to enable women to live safer lives whilst keeping their independence. PFO stands for protective fashion object.

The Sweden based PFO team designed a product called PFO One together with Oscar Magnuson, a Swedish accessory designer. The PFO One is a fashionable bracelet with GSM and GPS technology that works as a personal alarm and a tracking device.

The "wearable bodyguard" instantly increase safety when it is put on as the bracelet automatically activates on the wrist. The alarm can be triggered by simply pulling the bracelet. When pulled the bracelet sends a text message with the current position to Shields. Shields can be friends or a professional security service and the wearer's movement can be followed live. But only if required - the wearer decides when the tracking starts.

The bracelet costs 245 € and can be coupled with two different protection plans but the Premium Plan is currently only available in Sweden. We at Wearable Technologies are already looking forward to the release of the bodyguard bracelet in late September 2011.
