ResQ, known for its discreet safety wearables, today announced the launch of its new Fall Detection Series and the debut of the Mahi Collection, marking a significant step forward in personal safety technology. The announcement was made on Friday, May 1, 2026, at 10:00 AM Central.
The Fall Detection Series introduces automatic emergency alerts triggered by hard falls, offering protection even when users are unable to activate their device. When a fall is detected, the device can automatically share the user’s real-time location and notify selected responders, ensuring timely assistance in critical moments. Users can personalize how alerts are handled, choosing between 24/7 trained human agents who can assess the situation and coordinate emergency response, or direct notifications to trusted contacts via SMS and email.
“At ResQ, we believe safety should feel empowering, not intrusive,” said Kavita, Founder at ResQ. “We are building technology that integrates seamlessly into people’s lives. That means making it intelligent, reliable, and just as importantly, something you actually want to wear.”
Alongside this technology upgrade, ResQ introduces the Mahi Collection, a new line of safety necklaces designed to elevate the aesthetic of personal safety devices. With sculptural forms, refined finishes, and a jewelry-inspired approach, Mahi represents a shift in how safety products are perceived. Rather than looking like devices, the pieces are designed to stand on their own as premium accessories. The Mahi Collection is available in versions with and without fall detection, giving users flexibility to choose the level of protection that suits their lifestyle.
In addition to fall detection, all ResQ devices include one-touch emergency activation, live GPS location sharing, loud and silent alarm modes, optional background voice recording, and notifications sent to up to 10 trusted contacts.
This launch reinforces ResQ’s commitment to building a new category of safety products, where technology and design work together, not in compromise but in harmony. The Fall Detection Series and Mahi Collection are now available at resqjewelry.com.
The implications of this announcement are significant for the personal safety industry. By integrating automatic fall detection into wearable devices that resemble jewelry, ResQ is addressing a key concern for vulnerable populations, including seniors, individuals with medical conditions, and those who live alone. The ability to automatically alert responders without user intervention could reduce response times in emergencies, potentially saving lives. Furthermore, the shift from bulky medical alert devices to stylish accessories may increase adoption rates, as users are more likely to wear products that complement their daily attire. This could expand the market for personal safety wearables beyond traditional users to a broader audience seeking both safety and style.
