SamaHear Navigation Guide
SamaHear guides you with haptic vibrations so you can navigate independently without needing to hear voice directions or see a map.
Haptic Navigation
Hold your phone or mount it on your chest. You feel distinct vibration patterns for each direction — two pulses for left, three for right, an ascending sequence as you approach your destination. Learn the patterns in a quick tutorial, then navigate entirely by touch.
Routes use Apple Maps with safety scoring based on crosswalks, pedestrian paths, and avoidance of major road crossings. The safest route is recommended first.
Obstacle Detection
Your camera detects obstacles and hazards in real time using on-device processing. When something is in your path, you feel an escalating vibration. A continuous strong vibration means stop. No camera data leaves your phone.
Fall Detection & Emergency Response
If you fall, a 3-step safety system activates:
Haptic check-in for 30 seconds — tap "I'm OK" to cancel.
Your emergency contact gets a notification with your location.
After 30 more seconds with no response, an SMS with your GPS and a live video link is sent automatically.
You can adjust sensitivity and calibrate for your activity level. Note: this is not a medical device. For critical emergencies, always call 911/112 directly.
Emergency Contacts
Add trusted people who must verify consent via email before receiving any alerts. Your privacy and theirs is protected.
Live Video
Share your camera view with a trusted contact through a secure link. They watch from any browser to help you navigate or confirm you're safe. Links expire after 2 hours. Nothing is recorded.
Trip History
Review each trip's obstacles, alerts, distance, and route. Export as PDF to share with mobility instructors or therapists.
Built for You
Every button is large enough to tap easily. Every color meets high-contrast standards. Everything works with VoiceOver. You can use the entire app without looking at the screen.
Your Privacy
All camera processing stays on your device. Location is shared only with contacts who opted in. No ads, no tracking, no data sales.
SamaHear was built for the people who need it most. Every decision prioritizes your safety, privacy, and independence.
