InSync is a wearable safety ecosystem designed to offer peace of mind to those who move alone, are deeply loved, or work in high-risk environments. Combining a minimal wearable device with an accessible digital platform, the system offers radar-based live tracking, SOS alerts, status updates, and community-integrated safety. Designed for India’s social landscape, it brings together human connection and technological calm.
Story
Inspired by stories of solo travel vulnerability, urban safety concerns, and the growing digital trust gap in India, InSync was born to answer a complex question: How might we design safety that feels empowering, not alarming? Whether it’s a child on the way to school, an elderly parent walking to the market, or a woman returning from work — InSync ensures someone always knows, someone always cares.
The Problem
How might we design a safety experience that empowers users without inducing fear, works across tech comfort levels, and adapts to India’s diverse safety realities?
Story
Research Insights
Contextual interviews were conducted with:
Solo women travellers
Elderly family members
Parents of young children
Pet owners
NGO workers in unsafe areas
Key findings:
Trust > Features: People don't want more alerts — they want quiet assurance.
Overdesign overwhelms: Many users, especially the elderly or rural, avoid tech that feels cluttered or foreign.
Visibility = Comfort: Real-time location updates with context (safe, delayed, emergency) offer emotional ease.
One size doesn't fit all: Needs vary between personas — from discreet wearable form factors to language accessibility.
Story
Design Process
A Lean UX approach was followed, grounded in fast learning cycles, collaboration, and iterative feedback:
Think — Defined user assumptions, mapped initial hypotheses, and framed user needs.
Make — Sketched low-fidelity concepts, experience flows, and quick feature prototypes.
Check — Gathered feedback from user interviews, validated desirability and clarity of core features.
Repeat — Refined ideas based on insights, simplified user flows, and narrowed key functionalities.
This iterative and collaborative rhythm helped us stay user-focused while working rapidly.

Key Solutions & Features
Wearable with Panic Button: Minimal physical device that triggers silent SOS and location ping
Live Radar: App-based proximity radar showing real-time location of connected members
Status Cards: “Safe”, “Running Late”, “Check In” badges sent automatically or manually
Multi-layered Alerts: Family, local contacts, or emergency services — configurable escalation flow
Localized & Voice-first: Multi-language UI with optional audio prompts for low-literacy users
Privacy-first Design: One-way sharing, anonymized location zones, and pause functionality
Story
Impact & Reflections
InSync taught me how layered the idea of ‘safety’ really is — it’s not just about emergencies, but about everyday reassurance. This project became a turning point in my journey as a designer, grounding my understanding of inclusion, cultural sensitivity, and ethical responsibility in technology.
It remains one of my most meaningful works: rooted in love, built with empathy, and led by design.
