1. Executive Summary

NAVORA SOS is a decentralized, mesh-based emergency protocol designed to protect users when traditional rescue systems are inaccessible or non-functional. Whether in oceans, blackout zones, backcountry trails, or disaster sites, NAVORA SOS ensures real-time escalation, distress communication, and adaptive group support — without relying on cellular or internet infrastructure.

Why It Matters:

• Emergency response requires reliability beyond the network edge

• NAVORA SOS enables proactive, layered response logic via NAVORA SWARM

• It provides movement-driven, biometric-augmented protection for every NAVORA user

Unique Advantage: NAVORA SOS functions in total signal isolation. It coordinates emergency routing, broadcasts alerts through mesh relays, and reorganizes group structure in real time — even when no help is formally available.

 

2. Core Capabilities

2.1 Offline SOS Beacon with Auto-Escalation

• Transmitted over NAVORA SWARM using:

  • Bluetooth

  • WiFi Direct

  • Mesh radios (where enabled)

• Beacon data includes:

  • NAVORA ID fingerprint

  • Last known location pulse and motion activity

  • Optional biometric (HR spike, collapse, stress pattern)

  • Timestamp + trigger condition

• Auto-Escalation Tiers:

  • Tier 1: User fails a scheduled self-check → silent internal trigger

  • Tier 2: Broadcast to nearby NAVORA users in range

  • Tier 3: CONNECT group + Trusted Zone alert

  • Tier 4: External API escalation (if connected)

• Beacon frequency accelerates with severity, throttles to save power

 

2.2 Crowd-Sourced Emergency Alert Distribution

• Any NAVORA device nearby becomes a relay

• Nearby users with response capability (e.g., medic, patrol) can opt-in

• Signals hop device-to-device via NAVORA SWARM

• Alerts include:

  • Condition summary: Biometric flag, route deviation, panic trigger

  • Contextual trail history

  • Group awareness: Who they were with, when last seen

• Enables: Peer rescue, field triage, autonomous safety coordination

 

2.3 Audio, Biometric, or Motion-Triggered Activation

Trigger Modes:

• Voice: Customizable commands (e.g., “NAVORA help me”)

• Biometric: Panic heart rate, HRV collapse, fatigue detection

• Motion:

  • Fall detection

  • Phone drop with no recovery

  • Erratic motion (e.g., stumbling loops, inactivity)

Fallbacks:

• Long press on hidden screen element (stealth UI)

• Missed check-in = escalation trigger

 

2.4 Proximity-Based Responder Routing

• SOS is sent to responders in mesh range

• NAVORA calculates responder ETA and optimal hazard-free route via CORE OS

• Responders receive:

  • Trail overlays with hazard prediction

  • Live tracking of victim + ETA updates

  • Option to send audio/visual reassurance or request biometric update

 

2.5 Emergency Group Reshuffling & Survivor Routing

• When one member triggers SOS, NAVORA CONNECT:

  • Freezes current route

  • Evaluates group formation and recommends restructuring

Group Reactions:

• Assigns temporary leads if original captain is incapacitated

• Proposes: Split group, turn back, or relay support

• Auto-assigns regroup points, safe fallback trails

• Logs hazard path and shares to responder interface

 

3. Integration Points

NAVORA Systems

• NAVORA ID: Identity verification + routing of beacon

• NAVORA SWARM: Beacon delivery and fallback data transfer

• NAVORA CONNECT: Triggers group response logic

• NAVORA CORE OS: Builds and routes hazard-aware escape trails

External APIs

• Local emergency network if available

• Resort/marina/hotel security systems

• NAVORA partner responder dashboards (e.g., ski patrol, dive boat)

 

4. Use Cases & Personas

Scenarios

• Backcountry hiker collapses → watch triggers SOS → relay via other NAVORA user

• Kayaker swept away activates voice SOS → nearest boat receives full hazard overlay

• Solo traveler misses 3 check-ins → group is notified + tracking initiated

Personas

• Kai, Outdoor Guide – Uses NAVORA to route staff to injured skier

• Leila, Resort Director – Receives auto-alert when guest misses exit check

• Tomas, Rescue Pilot – Loads trail+hazard from NAVORA before airlift

 

5. Privacy, Security & Safety

• SOS data encrypted via NAVORA ID

• Transmission only to authorized roles, group, or trusted proximity peers

• Consent-based broadcast scope (configurable)

• Logs are offline-synced and time-stamped when back online

 

6. Patentable Claims

• Mesh-propagated biometric emergency routing

• Escalation logic triggered by motion/voice/biometric failure

• Decentralized fallback protocol with group reconfiguration engine

• Peer-based routing coordination with hazard-aware path prediction

 

7. Development Milestones

MVP Scope

• SOS trigger (manual + biometric)

• Tiered escalation (local > group > public)

• Beacon routing via NAVORA SWARM

• Responders get live map + ETA

Sprint Roadmap

• Phase 1: Beacon logic + UI triggers

• Phase 2: CONNECT group reshuffling

• Phase 3: Responder routing & hazard overlays

• Phase 4: Partner SOS API + responder dashboards

Integration Targets

• Rescue drones, backcountry radios, resort patrol tools

• Marine fleet emergency coordination

• Safety apps + wearable ecosystems

 

NAVORA SOS is the invisible shield that protects modern movement. When there’s no signal — NAVORA becomes the signal.
