VIENNA, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Everbridge, Inc., the global leader in High Velocity Critical Event Management (CEM) and national public warning solutions, today announced integration of its CEM platform with a Personal Safety Device (PSD), a compact wearable that empowers organizations to safeguard their people in the moments that matter most. Whether employees are on-site or working alone, the PSD delivers protection and intelligent response capabilities – meeting the rising demand for smarter, faster ways to address workplace safety and lone worker risk.

As traditional safety tools fall short – mobile apps face adoption hurdles under BYOD, and phones may be inaccessible in a crisis – the Personal Safety Device offers a discreet alternative. With the surge in lone worker safety regulations and expanding applications in healthcare, utilities, and field operations, organizations need reliable protection that fits seamlessly into daily workflows.

A PSD operates independently of personal mobile devices. By using a combination of cellular, Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi connectivity, the device provides location awareness, discreet emergency alerts, and reliable connectivity through telecommunications networks in virtually any environment. Its lightweight design fits seamlessly behind an employee ID badge, offering peace of mind without disruption.

“Our customers need to protect their people no matter where they are and without relying on a phone that might be locked, buried in a bag, or unreachable in a crisis,” said Bryan Barney, Chief Product Officer at Everbridge. “When seconds matter, you can’t afford to fumble for help. This device ensures it’s just one discreet press away, whether you're in a hospital stairwell or a remote job site. It’s a powerful example of how our technology transforms emergency response by detecting threats faster, pinpointing risks more accurately, and enabling more confident action.”

Key Features and Capabilities include:

• Seamless integration – Syncs with the Everbridge platform to provide centralized visibility and faster response during emergencies.
• Discrete duress activation – Employees can request immediate help via a low-profile wearable hidden behind their ID badge.
• Location visibility – Uses cellular, Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi technologies to deliver accurate location data indoors and outdoors.
• Fall detection – Automatically detects sudden drops or impacts and alerts responders, even if the employee is incapacitated.
• User-friendly design – Simple, intuitive interface supports accessibility for employees at every level.

The integration of the Personal Safety Device into High Velocity CEM represents another step in the Everbridge mission to strengthen organizational resilience. By connecting the PSD to the Everbridge platform, companies can extend their duty of care, coordinate responses more effectively, and gain a true business resilience advantage wherever their people go.
