Peace of Mind with Sharewear: How Our Geolocation Service Keeps Loved Ones Safe
At Sharewear, our mission is to protect and empower those most vulnerable—whether it's children, the elderly, or individuals with special needs. In our fast-paced, modern world, ensuring the safety and well-being of loved ones can be difficult, especially when distance separates families. That’s why we’ve integrated an optional geolocation service into our bracelets, offering a new level of security and peace of mind for families, no matter where they are.
How Sharewear’s Geolocation Feature Works
Our innovative bracelets are designed to be simple and effective. They don’t require apps, batteries, or complex technology—but for those who need an additional layer of protection, our geolocation service can be added.
Here’s how it works:
When a Sharewear bracelet is tapped in the event of an emergency—whether it’s a fall, a medical incident, or simply a need for help—the location is immediately registered.
The tap alerts designated contacts, such as family members or caregivers, with the exact location of the person wearing the bracelet.
At the same time, the individual's emergency profile is accessed by first responders or anyone assisting, giving them crucial information like medical conditions, allergies, and emergency contact details.
A Lifeline for Families with Loved Ones Living Out of State
Consider this common scenario: you’re a child of an elderly parent who lives miles away, maybe even across the country. While you check in regularly and make sure they have everything they need, you can’t be there 24/7. The fear of something happening—whether it’s a fall, confusion, or a health emergency—is always at the back of your mind.
With Sharewear's optional geolocation service, that fear can be eased. Imagine receiving a notification on your phone that your parent’s bracelet was tapped. Not only would you know immediately when and where the incident occurred, but you could act quickly from wherever you are, knowing they are getting the help they need. This can be a lifeline in situations where every second counts.
Immediate Profile Access for First Responders
In moments of crisis, time is everything. With our bracelets, the individual’s profile can be accessed by scanning the product—revealing critical information instantly. Whether it’s allergies, medical conditions, or emergency contacts, first responders will have the details they need to make informed decisions.
This feature is particularly helpful for elderly individuals who may be unable to communicate effectively in an emergency. The geolocation combined with the profile ensures their exact whereabouts and medical needs are immediately known, allowing for faster, more accurate assistance.
Geolocation Technology: Risks and Benefits
While geolocation technology offers incredible benefits, it’s also important to understand the potential risks. As highlighted in the ISACA Journal, geolocation “can enable real-time tracking and location monitoring, which can prove invaluable in various contexts like emergency response, navigation, and more.” However, there are concerns regarding privacy and data security, which need to be carefully managed.
At Sharewear, we’ve taken these considerations into account, designing our geolocation service with user privacy and security in mind. Our bracelets are not continuously tracked—the location is only shared when the bracelet is tapped during an emergency. This balance allows us to offer critical location data without compromising personal privacy.

Security You Can Trust
At Sharewear, we understand the importance of privacy. While our geolocation service provides real-time updates in the event of an emergency, it only activates when the bracelet is tapped. This means there is no continuous tracking, ensuring your loved one’s privacy while still offering critical location information when it matters most.
Perfect for Families Near and Far
Whether your loved one is a child with special needs who may wander, an elderly parent living in another state, or anyone vulnerable in your life, our bracelets with the optional geolocation service are a tool that gives peace of mind. You’ll know not only when an emergency occurs, but exactly where—allowing you to respond swiftly, even if you’re far away.
With Sharewear’s safety bracelets, distance no longer has to mean disconnection from those you love most.
