1. Executive Summary

NAVORA’s Emotional Safety Detection system transforms biometric and behavioral data into real-time, autonomous alerts that signal distress, panic, or medical risk — even when a user cannot manually trigger help. Unlike reactive safety tools, this system passively monitors for anomalies using heart rate, motion patterns, and contextual awareness, offering silent and continuous protection across environments.

Why It Matters:

• Emergencies are not always visible — fainting, anxiety, and coercion are often silent

• Most safety systems require action; NAVORA requires only presence

• This system extends NAVORA’s safety architecture into a proactive guardian role

Unique Advantage: NAVORA is the first navigation system that detects emotional or physiological distress and auto-activates support logic through SWARM, CONNECT, and SOS systems — without user input.

 

2. Core Capabilities

2.1 Signal Inputs

NAVORA’s safety detection system collects and processes:

• Heart Rate Variability (HRV): via wearables or embedded sensors

• Pace irregularity: Sudden cadence shifts, tremors, or slowed gait

• Movement breakdowns: Freezing, erratic loops, limp/wobble patterns

• Environmental context: Hazard map proximity, time-of-day, terrain type

Data is processed locally where possible, anonymized for group models, and encrypted end-to-end.

 

2.2 Behavioral Modeling Engine

NAVORA’s engine builds a behavioral baseline:

• Learns each user’s natural rhythm: stride length, rest intervals, pacing behavior

• Differentiates stress-induced changes from terrain-based exertion

• Establishes thresholds for: normal fatigue, elevated exertion, or dangerous decline

AI Triggers:

• HR spike + low motion = panic

• No movement + low HR in remote zone = collapse

• Repetitive movement + hazard zone = disorientation

 

2.3 Trigger Logic + Alert Protocol

When an anomaly is detected:

• Stage 1: Self-check prompt: “Are you okay?” via voice/text overlay

• Stage 2: Passive alert to CONNECT group or Trusted Zone contacts

• Stage 3: Full SOS trigger if unacknowledged — includes route trail, fallback map, biometric summary

Confidence scoring:

• Combines multiple inputs to reduce false alarms

• Thresholds vary by terrain, role, time, and user history

 

2.4 Response Routing + Privacy Layer

Upon full trigger:

• Sends real-time pulse alert to local NAVORA SWARM devices

• Activates NAVORA CONNECT visibility for trusted responders

• Generates routing overlay to closest safety waypoint: marina, medics, hut, etc.

Visibility controls:

• No location broadcast until escalation confirmed

• User settings define emergency contact logic and SWARM sharing scope

• Privacy preserved via adaptive consent profiles

 

3. Integration Points

NAVORA Modules:

• NAVORA ID: Identity verification + behavior fingerprint

• NAVORA SWARM: Offline alert sync + escalation relay

• NAVORA CONNECT: Group alerting + ETA restructuring

• NAVORA SOS: Full trigger logic, hazard routing, responder notification

Third-Party Hooks:

• Biometric devices (Apple Watch, Garmin, Oura Ring)

• Medical alert dashboards for NAVORA partners (resorts, events, maritime)

 

4. Use Cases & Personas

Scenarios

• Solo hiker has panic attack — NAVORA alerts group after motion stops

• Urban commuter blacks out — device triggers Stage 2 → alert sent to partner

• Skier veers off safe zone, enters freeze loop — NAVORA guides patrol to last pulse

Personas

• Maya, Trail Runner: Uses emotional safety to protect herself on long solo runs

• Leo, Elderly Guest: Wears NAVORA-linked device in a resort to detect falls

• Sam, Group Leader: Monitors emotional safety state of team during high-risk descent

 

5. Privacy, Security & Safety

• All biometric data stays encrypted on-device

• Group alerts require user-set visibility thresholds

• Triggers anonymized unless user pre-authorizes identity release

• Fallback messages contain only vital routing, not personal health details

 

6. Patentable Claims

• Real-time passive distress detection using motion + biometric fusion

• Multi-tiered escalation logic based on confidence thresholds

• Adaptive behavioral modeling adjusted by terrain and movement role

• Emergency routing generation triggered without user interaction
