US Market Assessment & Strategic Roadmap
The US personal safety market is currently dominated by reactive technologies—tools that require user interaction (button presses, app launches) at the exact moment of crisis. Project Mayday pivots to active/autonomous safety.
By utilizing voice-trigger technology and an agentic AI-calling layer, Mayday bridges the critical gap between a crisis occurring and help arriving, particularly in scenarios where the user is incapacitated or their mobile device has been stolen.
