Smartwatch against abuse: how it works
Soon, In Rome, 21 smartwatches will be available to protect female victims of violence. The ‘Mobile Angel’ project, a service born from the collaboration between the Carabinieri and Roman clubs of Soroptimist International, fully supported by the Lottomatica Foundation, becomes operational in the capital. These are state-of-the-art devices directly linked to the operations center of the Provincial Command of the Carabinieri in Rome, which: worn by victims of stalking or any form of gender violencecan send a request for help.
The alarm can not only be activated by the woman, but also activates automatically in case of aggression such as a push or if it is torn from the wrist. The smartwatch is also equipped with a microphone and a geolocation device. The project, presented this morning, comes to life following the signing of a technical protocol in recent months between the Provincial Command of the Carabinieri and the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Rome. It has already launched in other cities, starting with Naples, Turin and Milan.
«The project, which already started in 2018 in the city of Naples, currently consists of a total of 71 devices assigned. Specifically, there are 15 in the city of Naples, 15 in the city of Milan, 15 in Turin, 5 in Ivrea and, indeed, the 21 in the city of Rome. It first started in Naples, then the initiative also spread to the cities of Milan, Turin and Ivrea and was expanded thanks also and above all to the agreements signed with the respective public prosecutors who appreciated the functionality of the device as a method to combat the epidemic. phenomenon of gender violence,” Lt. Col. Gennaro Petruzzelli told Adnkronos. «In some circumstances, the activation of the alarm system by the victim allowed the immediate intervention of the patrol and the quick escape of the stalker. In Milan, in one case, he says, it was also possible to arrest a man who had already been removed from the parental home and banned from approaching his ex-partner. After presenting himself under the woman’s house to extort money needed for the purchase of drugs, he began to shake her upon refusal, tore the smartwatch from her wrist and threw it on the floor. With the smartwatch motion sensors, the alarm system was inevitably activated, prompting timely intervention by our patrol and the arrest of the individual.
