Innovative solutions by UniUni and Acusensus aim to improve public safety for all.
AI technology is paving the way for innovative safety solutions, as highlighted by two recent advancements from companies based on different continents.

The South Korean startup UniUni is capturing attention with its AI-powered tool, Savvy For Accessible, which focuses on safeguarding vulnerable spaces without compromising privacy, particularly for individuals with disabilities.

UniUni’s unique approach allows for the detection of unusual situations without the use of cameras, making it particularly relevant for sensitive areas such as restrooms and hospitals.

Recently, the company launched Savvy For Accessible to address safety concerns within public restrooms for disabled individuals.

This groundbreaking product not only identifies potential emergencies but also informs users which stalls are available.

The system has already been implemented in over 500 locations throughout South Korea, demonstrating its reliability and efficacy.

Unlike many other solutions reliant on specialized sensors, UniUni’s technology is driven by artificial intelligence.

It integrates data from depth and thermal sensors, enabling AI to analyze behavioral patterns and accurately identify high-risk situations such as falls or violent incidents with up to 99.6% accuracy.

When such abnormal situations are detected, the system immediately alerts responsible personnel.

Besides emergency detection, it collects real-time data, maps objects, and presents all gathered information to users through an accessible application.

Aiming to expand its market presence, UniUni has entered pilot agreements in Malaysia and Saudi Arabia, with aspirations to penetrate European, American, and Japanese markets by registering seven patents and preparing to file about 20 additional ones.

Meanwhile, across the globe, the Australian road safety technology company Acusensus is spearheading another safety initiative by testing AI cameras capable of detecting impaired drivers. This pilot, believed to be the first of its kind globally, is currently underway in England, where the technology aims to identify if drivers are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

The AI camera technology developed by Acusensus promises real-time transmission of driver condition information to police authorities, allowing timely interventions.

Currently being tested in Cornwall and Devon, this camera system can be relocated quickly across various locations, thereby enhancing its surveillance capabilities without prior notice to motorists.

Geoff Collins, head of Acusensus’ UK branch, emphasized the potential benefits of the technology, stating, “We will be safer if we can detect drunk or drugged drivers before they cause accidents which could ruin others’ lives.”

The AI cameras are capable of monitoring driver behavior discreetly, alerting the authorities for follow-up investigations.

This initiative builds on Acusensus’ history of developing technology aimed at capturing individuals who use mobile phones or fail to wear seat belts, improving overall road safety standards.

Both UniUni and Acusensus are at the forefront of leveraging AI for enhancing public safety, albeit through different applications. While UniUni focuses on creating safer environments for individuals with disabilities through careful monitoring without invading privacy, Acusensus targets reducing dangerous driving behaviors through real-time detection methods.

Their efforts represent just the beginning of what AI can achieve to promote safety and well-being across various facets of everyday life.

Looking forward, these technologies could revolutionize how society addresses safety concerns, potentially leading to broader implementations beyond their initial fields.

The success of such innovative platforms will largely depend on continued evaluations, community feedback, and adaptive strategies to address the unique challenges each situation presents
