Abstract: Personal safety systems and methods for alerting in an emergency situation, using a personal bracelet that can communicate with a mobile phone application. When the bracelet is worn at a palm-position, an annex-portion of the bracelet is worn across the wrist, going across the palm and between the thumb and the index finger, exposing actionable buttons. The actionable buttons can be operated by the fingers of the same hand where the bracelet is worn. Pressing a predetermined sequence generates an emergency message to a security service along with the user's location and sound and images recorded by the phone.
