Case Study: VSNmobil achieves faster emergency response with Contus' VALRT wearable app solution

Emergency Alert App For Wearable Device To Save Lives

VSNmobil, the maker of the VALRT wearable device, needed a mobile app that could instantly connect users with loved ones in medical emergencies, security threats, or accidents. The main challenge was building reliable iOS and Android connectivity between the wearable and app without Bluetooth pairing confusion, while also supporting emergency voice calls, text alerts, and accurate location sharing.

Contus solved this by building a custom Bluetooth layer to uniquely identify the VALRT device, integrating a VOIP SDK for voice and SMS alerts, and adding logic to improve location accuracy by averaging multiple GPS reads. Contus also implemented connectivity status alerts, secure pairing, and user-configurable emergency contacts and messaging preferences. The result was a successful app that helped VALRT reach more users, especially seniors and women, and supported emergency assistance for over 10k to 15k people.
