There’s a new campaign on Indigogo, the Crowdfunding site, that I wanted to tell you about. You may want to fund it. Twenty thousand dollars has already been raised of the $37,274 needed to bring The Silent Beacon to market.There are 45 days left. So far 378 funders have donated.

The Silent Beacon is a Bluetooth wearable device that notifies loved ones and dear friends of your emergency situation. The messages are sent by alerts via text, email, and push notifications with your GPS location. The person who hits the alert can also speak to the people selected to receive the message.

There are other products like this one on the market. I urge you to compare. The reason why I picked this one for today is because The Silent Beacon has a sizable marketing campaign on Facebook. It caught my attention many times. I also liked the fact that the companion app is easy to use and let’s you update frequently. As we get older, services like this will allow us to extend our independence.
