Why traditional alarms often fail to reach deaf people

Many emergency concepts rely on sirens, alarm tones, or loudspeaker announcements. For deaf and hard-of-hearing people, this creates safety gaps because acoustic warning signals cannot be perceived at all or only to a limited extent.
 

EVALARM complements existing alerting methods with digital emergency notifications on smartphones, tablets, and PCs. As a result, alarms are not only heard, but also seen, read, and felt.

Digital alerts via smartphone, tablet, and PC

In an emergency, EVALARM ensures that deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals receive an unambiguous alert immediately. The message appears directly on their smartphone, tablet, or workplace PC.

​

The smartphone can vibrate and, depending on the device settings, additionally draw attention to the alarm through flashing lights or other visual cues. On the PC, the alert is prominently displayed so that employees are quickly informed, even while working.

Smartphone-Alerting

Emergency alerts are displayed directly on the smartphone – for example, during fires, evacuations, or other emergencies.

Vibration & visual indicators

The smartphone can vibrate and display the alert as a visible push notification on the lock screen – depending on device settings, it can also include flashing lights or additional visual cues.

Workstation PC alerting

Emergency alerts are prominently displayed on the workplace PC, ensuring that employees are informed immediately, even while working.

The message appears directly on the PC or smartphone.

 

The smartphone vibrates, displays the message clearly, and can trigger visual signals depending on the settings.

The added value of EVALARM extends beyond the rapid delivery of emergency alerts.
