In a significant advancement for cyclist safety, Smith Optics has integrated Twiceme Technology into four of its premier helmet models: the Forefront 2 and Payroll mountain bike helmets, along with the road/gravel-focused Trace and Triad helmets. (smithoptics.com)
Twiceme Technology is a digital safety platform that empowers cyclists to store critical health information, such as allergies, medical conditions, medications, and emergency contacts, directly within their helmets. This data is accessible to first responders or bystanders by simply scanning the Twiceme symbol on the helmet’s rear dial using a smartphone. (twiceme.com)
Beyond the Medical ID feature, Twiceme offers additional safety capabilities:
-
Share Location: Allows users to share their real-time location with trusted contacts, enhancing safety during rides.
-
Emergency Services: Enables users to manually trigger emergency notifications, utilizing GPS to pinpoint their last known location for a rapid response.
-
Get Back Timer: Lets users set expected return times and automatically alerts designated contacts if the return is delayed.
-
Immobility Alert: Detects prolonged immobility, which could indicate incapacitation, and triggers an emergency alert if the user does not respond to a mobile notification.
This collaboration marks a significant step in enhancing cyclist safety by integrating digital technology directly into helmet design. As Christian Connolly, CEO of Twiceme Technology, stated, “Smith is an iconic cycling brand, and bringing Twiceme to their riders is a genuine milestone for our company.” (twiceme.com)
The Twiceme-integrated Smith helmets are now available for purchase, offering cyclists a comprehensive suite of safety features designed to provide peace of mind on every ride.
