Summary

The FallSafety app leverages an accelerometer to detect when a worker falls on a job site, triggering notifications sent through Twilio Notify to emergency contacts. The use of Twilio Notify enabled the team to send multi-channel notifications instantly from one platform, allowing them to focus on enhancing their product and expanding internationally. By using a physical "dummy" to test their code's functionality, FallSafety ensures response time matters in critical situations. With a goal of improving prevention as well as response, the company hopes to reduce human falls in the future.
