You don't press it.
It watches.
Most lone-worker safety still comes down to a button someone has to reach in the worst moment of their life. Vygard is built the other way round — it detects trouble and acts on its own, using the phone already in their pocket, backed by a response that actually answers and the evidence to prove it happened.
You don't press it. It watches.
Automatic, not manual
A panic button only helps a worker who is conscious, able and remembers to reach it. The moments that matter most — a fall, a collapse, being knocked out, a slow slide into a medical event — are exactly the ones where they can't. Vygard detects them and raises the alarm on its own.
- Fall, no-movement and man-down detection running in the background
- Heart-rate and vitals cues on Apple Watch and Wear OS
- Missed check-ins escalate themselves — no one has to notice
The safety net is already in their pocket.
No extra device to buy, charge or carry
There's nothing to issue, nothing to remember, nothing to run flat at the wrong moment. Vygard is software on the phone every worker already has — and it still works where the signal doesn't: an SOS raised in a blackspot is saved and fired the instant coverage returns, and on newer phones it can go out over satellite.
- Live on the phones and watches you already own
- Off-grid store-and-forward — no alert is ever lost
- Satellite on satellite-capable iPhones and Androids
A response, not a message into the void.
Someone actually answers
An alert is only worth as much as what happens next. Vygard drives a real escalation chain — supervisor, on-call manager, then a 24/7 monitoring centre — with the worker's live location, and keeps going until a human acknowledges. Not a single ping to a contact who might be asleep.
- Escalation ladder that keeps climbing until acknowledged
- Optional 24/7 ARC (alarm receiving centre) monitoring
- Live location and context travel with every alert
Proof, not a promise.
Evidence your regulator will accept
When something goes wrong, the question is always "show me." Every trigger, escalation and acknowledgement is timestamped and HMAC-signed into an audit ledger you can export in one click — the lone-working evidence HSE, CQC and your insurer ask for, never reconstructed from memory.
- Tamper-evident, HMAC-signed audit trail
- One-click regulator-ready PDF export
- Built around the standards each sector actually cites
One platform, not a drawer of gadgets.
Everything the whole team needs, in one place
Safety isn't only the emergency. Vygard carries the day-to-day too — dispatch, rostering, check-ins, broadcasts and reporting — tuned to your trade by a sector pack, and priced per worker with no hardware per head. One system to run, one bill, no kit to maintain.
- Dispatch, roster, check-ins and broadcasts in one app
- 12 sector packs — the workflows and forms of your trade
- Per-worker pricing, no device cost per person
A device waits to be pressed. Vygard is already watching — on the phone they carry, backed by people who answer.
Safety that acts before you can.
