Being wary is now second nature in France. Terror attacks have made sure of that. Being wary is also a requirement<\/span> in any establishment open to a large number of people. The French Tech startup WaryMe<\/a> makes sure all are safe and sound.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
The WaryMe idea<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Five years ago, Boris Berger and Philippe Lima came up with the idea of WaryMe. They were working then on proprietary safety\/security solutions for their companies<\/span><\/span>. They decided to design an app capable of securing any establishment.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
What is the procedure when “something bad” happens in any company? First, sound the alert. Then take out the manual: usually a fat binder somewhere in an office. Who does what? Two-way communications are partial, can’t be sure everyone is in the loop. In the end, one <\/span>just<\/span><\/span> hopes things turn out ok.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This is not good enough for the WaryMe team.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
A comprehensive approach to emergencies\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Using available technology, <\/span><\/span>namely<\/span><\/span> smartphones and the WaryMe app, anyone on site can report a safety\/security issue<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
All people present on site can then <\/span>be alerted<\/span><\/span> via notifications.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
WaryMe steps away from existing alert apps by also providing the crisis plan. <\/span>Instead of running around looking for that binder, all registered users receive the do-to list on their phone<\/span><\/span>. Each can take on tasks and report. <\/span>The smartphone of the person who launched the alarm also serves as a walkie-talkie broadcasting the surrounding sounds<\/span><\/span>. Very convenient when the launcher can’t speak. Recorded sounds can <\/span>be played again<\/span><\/span> if necessary.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
In what circumstances can WaryMe become handy? <\/span>Basically<\/span><\/span> in any establishment\/situation. Fire in a building, intrusion in a school, Terror attack in a mall… WaryMe fills a gap. When an extraordinary event occurs, most <\/span>are unprepared<\/span><\/span> despite the crisis plan. WaryMe helps everyone present find his place in the emergency response organization.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The WaryMe team<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
WaryMe is almost a year old now. <\/span>The idea dates back 5 years but the concept was <\/span><\/span>highly<\/span><\/span> dependant on people equipped with GPS- camera-accelerometer-phones<\/span><\/span>. <\/span>Just<\/span><\/span> about any phone now offers these features.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The team of four (plus interns) has quite a dense roadmap ahead including the use of AI to detect odd behavior in users (crowd movement)<\/span><\/span>. This will help launch an early alert and <\/span>monitor<\/span><\/span> the crowds. Recruiting will take place later in the year to develop and promote WaryMe.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
WaryMe for others<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
The team is also working on an API to provide the WaryMe tech in existing solutions. An app called App-Elle<\/a> helps report violence against women. <\/span>The app provides a simple way to call for help, contact designated numbers while sending a picture along with the GPS location<\/span><\/span>. The organization Resonantes received the WaryMe API to further expand the app. <\/span>It will now be able to share the surrounding sounds thus helping <\/span><\/span>evaluate<\/span><\/span> the degree of immediate danger<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Secure the Olympic Games<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
WaryMe has a promise and a challenge. <\/span>It is the only system that addresses all three parts of an emergency: the alert, the mass communication and the execution of the crisis plan<\/span><\/span>. <\/span>The upcoming challenge is to break away from designated buildings – or construction sites – to protect the public space<\/span><\/span>. There <\/span>is kind of<\/span><\/span> a big thing coming up in 2024, in Paris: the Olympic Games. This leaves time for WaryMe to develop their system and help provide secure games to the world.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
