Sabre personal safety app with
pepper spray
Sabre’s new personal safety app
with pepper spray has been designed in partnership with Noonlight. It can
be used independently or with the smart pepper spray, which will be available
in April 2021.
The app
allows one to alert five contacts that the user is in danger, and provides
one’s location. It serves as a personal safety information hub with updated
safety tips and content, as well as safety training videos to be added later
this year.
Once paired with the app the pepper
spray offers similar functionality, in that it notifies pre-selected contacts
if the user’s spray has been used.
David Nance, CEO of Sabre, says: “Before using the spray users need to pair it to their smartphone via Bluetooth. The app then sends alerts to up to five assigned contacts through SMS upon deployment of the spray. The alert text message includes the user’s location, while geo-tracking continues to track the user following the initial “help” alert. If an alert is accidentally sent users can cancel it by entering a security PIN that they set up upon installation.”
Platform: Android and iOS
Expect to pay: The app will cost
R75 per month. No cost has been released for the pepper spray yet.

Care4Ear
MIJ’s Care4Ear is a smartphone app
claimed to help tinnitus patients by using self-hearing tests and self-tinnitus
tests without the need for an audiologist.
To get started, one tests one’s
hearing and then checks the frequency and intensity of a tinnitus sound. Based
on the hearing test and tinnitus test results, users have a customised care
sound profile created for them. Listening to this sound on daily basis may
improve tinnitus.
The developers suggest listening to
the tinnitus care sound for four hours a day for six months or more before any
improvements are heard.
Platform: Android and iOS
Expect to pay: A free download
