CEDI Alert
A community-driven assault alarm
How does it work?
CEDI is a small, discreet assault alarm that can easily be placed in a key ring, bag, pocket or close at hand. If users find themselves in an unsafe situation, the alarm can be activated and a voluntary community consisting of both own selected contact persons and ordinary, voluntary citizens - called Runners - who create a much larger and faster security network than existing solutions on the market.
Why is it needed?
CEDI consists of four passionate women who are passionate about making a difference. In 2019, they wanted to answer to the fact that insecurity and abuse is an increasing worry worldwide.
How does it improve life?
CEDI has entered into a partnership with the tech company OOONO A/S in the spring of 2021 and are working together to develop CEDI so they can get to market as soon as possible. This means that the concept is still under development, and it is therefore not possible to buy a CEDI or download the app at this time.
