Emotional Safety Detection — Biometric & Behavioral Risk Recognition

Overview: Emotional Safety Detection is a pioneering feature in NAVORA’s architecture that transforms passive biometric and behavioral data into real-time indicators of distress, disorientation, or danger. Unlike traditional safety systems that require manual activation, this system functions continuously and silently in the background, monitoring patterns and triggering alerts automatically when abnormal behavior is detected.

The feature is foundational to NAVORA’s safety-first philosophy, providing early warnings in situations ranging from anxiety attacks and fainting to accidents and coercion. It works in urban, marine, trail, and snow environments — making it universal across all NAVORA modules.

 

Signal Inputs

Emotional Safety Detection relies on cross-referenced, low-latency data from:

• Heart rate monitors (via smartwatches, fitness bands, or onboard sensors)

• Pace irregularity (walking/running/cycling cadence, stride length, tremors)

• Movement pattern breakdowns (e.g., erratic stops, tight pacing loops, limp patterns)

• Environmental context (time of day, terrain, hazard presence)

All signals are encrypted, privacy-respecting, and processed on-device where possible.

 

Behavioral Modeling Engine

NAVORA uses temporal pattern analysis to build a behavioral baseline for each user:

• Establishes normal heart rate zones per terrain and exertion level

• Captures movement consistency signatures (e.g., travel rhythm, turn frequency, rest intervals)

• Learns sleep/wake/activity cycles over time

This adaptive baseline enables the AI to identify:

• Sudden physiological anomalies (e.g., spike/drop in heart rate)

• Cognitive disorientation (circling, freezing, erratic accelerometer behavior)

• Involuntary stops or collapse simulations

 

Trigger Logic + Alert System

If thresholds are breached, NAVORA initiates a multi-layered alert protocol:

• Stage 1: Soft self-check (e.g., “Are you okay?” voice/text prompt)

• Stage 2: Passive check-in request to CONNECT group or Trusted Zone contact

• Stage 3: Full SOS trigger with fallback location, route trail, and bio-anomaly reason code

Triggers are weighted by signal confidence, environmental context, and history. For example:

• High heart rate + low speed in a safe zone = possible panic attack

• No motion + low heart rate in a remote zone = possible collapse

 

Response Routing + Visibility

Upon trigger, NAVORA:

• Sends pulse alert to nearby NAVORA users in Trusted Zone

• Notifies CONNECT group with detailed anomaly report

• Activates NAVORA SWARM sync for offline coordination

• Maps nearest recovery/safe zone (marina, trailhead, medic, rescue hut)

Visibility logic ensures that privacy is preserved until escalation thresholds are met. Users can set preferences for alert behavior, including trusted emergency contacts.

 

Patent Advantage: NAVORA’s Emotional Safety system introduces:

• Multimodal behavioral AI fusing heart rate, motion, and pace

• Contextual SOS triggers with fallback routing and alert escalation

• Privacy-aware anomaly detection for passive, ambient protection

This system redefines digital safety — detecting emergencies even when a user cannot speak, move, or reach for help.
