Beam monitors conversations to automatically detect signs of danger, enabling automatic notification and live streaming of audio and video to emergency contacts, while saving recording as evidence.

Comment 1

Introduction

Beam is a mobile application that enhances personal safety and promotes access to justice by leveraging real-time sentiment analysis and natural language processing (NLP). It continuously monitors conversations to detect aggression levels, and can automatically trigger live streaming to a set of emergency contacts for increased safety, while saving recording as evidence in case of a potential court hearing.

Idea

Beam addresses the prompt by using technology to promote peace and access to justice in society. It provides access to justice and safety by enabling individuals to call for help in hostile situations discreetly. Additionally, it can be used to collect recordings which can be later used in court as evidence, supporting victims of crimes that may otherwise be hard to prove. The unique approach of combining real-time aggression detection with automatic live streaming offers a proactive solution to personal safety challenges and difficulties with justice.

Effectiveness

  • Continuous Monitoring: Always-on detection of conversation sentiment without user intervention.
  • Accurate Detection: Utilizes advanced NLP models to assess aggression levels from 0 to 1.
  • Immediate Response: Triggers a notification and live streaming to emergency contacts when a trigger word is detected or aggression level surpasses a certain threshold.
  • Saved Recordings: All recordings are saved for the user to review. Providing a way to collect potential evidence for victims of crime.

This seamless integration ensures that users receive timely assistance and can collect necessary evidence in any scenario, effectively executing the core idea.

Technical Challenge

  • Integration of Multiple Technologies:
    • Frontend: React Native for cross-platform mobile development.
    • Backend: T3 stack using TypeScript, tRPC, and Prisma for robust API development.
    • NLP Processing: FastAPI handles complex NLP tasks and sentiment analysis.
  • Advanced NLP Implementation: Real-time processing of audio data to detect aggression.
  • Innovation: Introduces a novel solution that proactively enhances personal safety through technology.
  • Complex Implementation:
    • Real-time audio capture and processing.
    • Low-latency live streaming integration.

Thank you for considering Beam as a solution to promote peace access to justice through technology.
