Man Down App: Advanced Protection for Lone Workers

Workplace safety is more than just a requirement; it’s an operational priority. With the VerticalMan® Man Down App, you can turn a standard Android smartphone into an intelligent Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) device, capable of detecting emergencies and activating rescue services in real-time.

Why Choose a Professional App for Safety?

In industrial settings, a simple alarm is not enough. VerticalMan® is designed to handle real-world challenges on the field:

• Man Down Detection: Advanced algorithms that distinguish between real falls and normal work activities, drastically reducing false alarms.
• Automatic Hands-Free Speakerphone: In case of an emergency, the app automatically activates the speakerphone. As highlighted in our latest research, being able to communicate with the rescuer without touching the phone is what truly makes a rescue call effective.
• Heat Stress Monitoring: Through integration with external sensors (such as RuuviTag), we monitor thermal risk, which is crucial when “perceived heat” exceeds ambient temperature.

Precise Location, Even Indoors

While standard systems rely only on GPS, VerticalMan® ensures safety even inside buildings, server rooms, or basements, thanks to positioning via WiFi and Bluetooth Beacons. Privacy is guaranteed: the location is transmitted only at the moment of the alarm.
