GuardianAI - Technical

Executive Summary

GuardianAI is a next-generation wearable safety system that leverages artificial intelligence, edge computing, and augmented reality to proactively detect and mitigate personal threats before they escalate. Unlike reactive security solutions, GuardianAI’s predictive analytics and real-time environmental sensing create a personal safety ecosystem that operates autonomously—ensuring user protection without compromising privacy.

Core Value Proposition:

• AI-Powered Threat Prevention: Combines acoustic, visual, and behavioral analysis to identify risks (e.g., gunshots, aggressive behavior, suspicious objects) with >95% accuracy.

• Edge-First Architecture: Fully localized data processing eliminates cloud dependencies, ensuring reliability in low-connectivity environments and compliance with global privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA).

• Multi-Device Integration: Wristband (primary), smartphone app, and AR glasses form a mesh network for redundant threat verification and response.

Technology Deep Dive

Hardware

• Guardian Wristband:

  • Sensors: MEMS microphones (ultra-wideband audio capture), 9-axis IMU (motion tracking), PPG (heart rate for stress detection).

  • Processor: Custom ASIC (co-designed with Bosch) for low-power ML inference (2 TOPS at <1W).

  • Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.2, LTE-M fallback.

• AR Glasses (Optional):

  • Display: Waveguide-based monocular HUD (30° FOV).

  • Compute: Qualcomm XR2 with on-device SLAM for real-time route mapping.

AI/ML Stack

• Acoustic Analysis:

  • Model: 1D-ResNet trained on 1M+ labeled samples (gunshots, screams, glass breaks).

  • Latency: <200ms from detection to user alert.

• Visual Threat Detection:

  • Model: Quantized YOLOv7 running at 30 FPS (FP16 precision) for weapon/object recognition.

  • Dataset: Curated from 250K+ law enforcement and public CCTV frames.

• Behavioral AI:

  • RL-Based Anomaly Detection: Learns user routines (e.g., jogging paths) via federated learning; flags deviations correlated with threat databases.

Security & Privacy

• Data Policy: Zero telemetry; all processing on-device.

• Encryption: Post-quantum TLS 1.3 for device-to-device comms; Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) for anti-tampering.

Market Analysis

Target Markets

Competitive Edge vs. Incumbents (e.g., Apple Watch SOS, Noonlight):

• Proactive vs. Reactive: Competitors require manual activation; GuardianAI auto-detects threats.

• Lower False Positives: Context-aware AI reduces alerts by 60% vs. rule-based systems.

Business Model & Monetization

Revenue Streams

1. Hardware Sales:

   • Wristband: $249 (BOM cost: $89).

   • AR Glasses: $599 (BOM cost: $210).

2. Subscriptions:

   • Guardian+: $14.99/month for advanced features (e.g., family tracking, private security dispatch integration).

   • Enterprise API: $2/device/month for custom threat rule deployment.

3. Licensing:

   • OEM Partnerships: White-labeling for telecoms (projected $20/unit royalty).

Financial Projections (5-Year)

Development Roadmap

Phase 1 (0–18 Months)

• Q1–Q2 2025: Finalize ASIC tape-out with TSMC (7nm process).

• Q3 2025: Beta testing with 5K users (invite-only, NDAs).

• Q1 2026: FCC/CE certification; soft launch in U.S./EU.

Phase 2 (18–36 Months)

• Smart City Integration: V2X protocols for municipal threat sharing (e.g., gunshot triangulation).

• Medical Expansion: FDA Class II clearance for fall detection/epilepsy alerts.

Phase 3 (36–60 Months)

• Platform Ecosystem: Third-party developer tools for threat-response apps (30% revenue share).

Strategic Advantages

• Defensibility: 14 patents pending (AI architecture, sensor fusion methods).

• Scalability: Modular design allows regional customization (e.g., EU privacy modules).

• Exit Potential: Natural fit for acquisition by:

  • Tech: Apple (augments Health/Watch ecosystems).

  • Security: Axon (complements bodycam analytics).

Investment Opportunity

Seeking $45M Series B for:

• Production Scaling: Contract manufacturing with Flex (50K units/month capacity).

• Regulatory: FDA/EU MDR compliance.

• GTM: Partnerships with Verizon (U.S.) and Vodafone (EU).

Projected ROI: 8–10x by 2030 based on conservative 20% market penetration in target segments.
