Problem
Individuals who spend time alone—whether hiking, commuting, traveling, or living independently—often lack a reliable, privacy‑respecting way to receive real‑time help during emergencies or unexpected situations. Coordinating timely assistance with trusted contacts can be difficult, especially when the person in need cannot manually alert others.
Solution
Elta offers an AI‑powered personal safety platform that lets users share their location on their own terms and build a trusted emergency contact network. The built‑in AI assistant, Ellie, provides 24/7 safety guidance and can automatically trigger alerts if a scheduled check‑in is missed or an anomaly is detected. Features such as Quick Timer, customizable check‑in schedules, and proactive safety monitoring enable real‑time protection during routine activities and trips. All data is end‑to‑end encrypted, giving users full control over what is shared, when, and with whom, while ensuring emergency contacts receive precise GPS information and instructions even if the user cannot act.
Target Audience
Primary users are outdoor enthusiasts, solo travelers, and individuals living alone who want a discreet, reliable safety companion that keeps loved ones informed without constant manual updates.
