Problem
Cyclists face significant safety risks due to limited visibility to nearby vehicles, especially around curves or in low-light conditions. In the event of an accident, cyclists may be unable to quickly and accurately communicate their location to emergency services or designated contacts.
Solution
Beloo is a mobile application designed to enhance cyclist safety by providing real-time location sharing and emergency assistance features. The app alerts nearby drivers to the cyclist's presence, increasing visibility and reducing the risk of collisions. In case of a fall or accident, Beloo can automatically detect the event, notify designated contacts, and share the cyclist's GPS location with emergency services, facilitating rapid response and assistance. The app also includes a feature for cyclists to request help from other nearby cyclists in case of mechanical issues or other non-emergency situations.
