The Problem

Safety tools require you to act. That's the flaw.

Most safety apps depend on a girl deciding the danger is bad enough to escalate, then unlocking her phone, opening an app, and pressing a button. In the moments that matter most, that sequence is impossible. Existing wearables are reactive, conspicuous, and dependent on user initiation, which fails exactly when protection is needed most.


Through the G.I.R.L.S. Organization, I have heard members describe abandoning internships, competitions, and travel opportunities because of safety risks their male peers never had to weigh. The problem isn't lack of ambition. It's a gap in protection.

Our Solution

Passive. Intelligent. Automatic.

HavenKey is an AI-enabled wearable that performs continuous distress detection through multimodal sensor fusion, analyzing voice biomarkers, motion and accelerometer data, and physiological signals such as heart rate variability, without requiring a panic button or an unlocked phone.


The core classification model correlates signals across all three inputs simultaneously, because danger rarely shows up in just one signal alone.

🎙

Voice Biomarker Analysis

Detects distress in ambient audio without requiring the user to speak or call for help.

📡

Motion & Accelerometer Fusion

Reads chaotic motion, sudden impacts, and prolonged stillness, which are signatures of real danger.

❤️

Heart Rate Variability

Monitors physiological stress response to distinguish fear from exercise or daily activity.

Real-Time Alert Dispatch

Autonomously notifies trusted contacts and emergency services within seconds of confirmed distress.

📶

Bluetooth & GSM Connectivity

Operates via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GSM and fully functional independent of the user's phone.

🔋

48-Hour Battery Life

Continuous protection during extended emergencies, travel, or low-signal environments.

How It Works

Three inputs. One label. No action required.

The classification model correlates voice, motion, and heart rate simultaneously, because danger rarely shows up in just one signal.

01

Sensor Data Collection

HavenKey continuously reads accelerometer, gyroscope, pressure, GPS, and ambient audio, passively, with no user interaction required.

02

ML Pattern Recognition

A Python-based classification pipeline fuses sensor data across time windows, stress-tested against adversarial false-positive scenarios including erratic motion, elevated heart rate from exercise, and loud ambient environments.

03

Risk Evaluation & Alert

When confirmed distress is detected, HavenKey dispatches a precise GPS alert with distress coordinates to trusted contacts and emergency services within seconds, with a subtle vibration confirming dispatch.

Detection Architecture

A continuous loop, not a one-time trigger.

HavenKey doesn't fire once and stop. The feedback loop runs continuously, updating risk scores and re-evaluating context in real time.

1

Sensor Data Collection

Continuous passive reading across all input channels

2

Real-Time Data Processing

Feature extraction across short and long sliding windows

3

Pattern Recognition

ML model correlates multimodal signals into a joint risk score

4

Risk Evaluation

Pathway-branched confirmation rules differentiate distress types

5

Emergency Mode Activation

Alert state machine escalates through SUSPICIOUS → ALERTING

6

Priority Emergency Comms

GPS coordinates dispatched to trusted contacts and services

7

Continuous Live Tracking

Location updates continue until manual cancel or cooldown

8

Post-Incident Support

Session logged for review; model refines from labeled outcomes

Built under G.I.R.L.S. Organization

HavenKey emerged from four years of running a global STEM movement. The G.I.R.L.S. Organization, founded in in 2022, now active across 30+ U.S. states and 17 countries, is both the reason HavenKey exists and its first pilot community. Members will wear, test, and help label the training data that shapes the model's next iteration.

Long-Term Vision

Beyond a product. A movement for women's safety.

HavenKey's vision is not a single device. It's a safety ecosystem that connects with smart cities, scales across institutions, and evolves continuously with the communities it serves.

Global Vision

Every woman safe, empowered, and free from fear, regardless of location, income, or access to emergency services.

Smart City Integration

Connects with smart homes and cities, triggering alarms, locks, and lights. Direct link to emergency services, shelters, and legal aid.

Evolving with Feedback

G.I.R.L.S. members will label real sensor data, shaping model iterations. Turning pilot users into co-designers of the next version.

Global Ecosystem

Wearables, smart technology, and community support: a layered infrastructure for women's safety that scales across institutions and NGOs worldwide.

About the Founder

Divyansha Nashine

I am a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania in the Jerome Fisher M&T Program, pursuing dual degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics at Penn Engineering and Economics at the Wharton School.

I co-founded the G.I.R.L.S. Organization at 15, and have since built it into a global STEM movement spanning 30+ U.S. states and 17 countries. I conduct engineering research at Penn's Architected Materials Laboratory and previously at Princeton University, where my findings were published in the Journal of Applied Physics. I am currently an Applied AI Engineer intern at Harness, working on agentic evaluation pipelines.

HavenKey is not a pivot away from that work. It is the direct result of it: four years of listening to girls in my own community describe the same fear, combined with the engineering background to finally build something for it.
