Help Bring the Vocasafe Watch to Life
The first waterproof smartwatch designed to support AAC communication and safety for individuals with autism and speech differences.
The Story Behind VocaSafe
ABOUT VocaSafe Watch™
VocaSafe Watch™ was born from lived experience. As a mother to Roy, who uses AAC to communicate, I often saw his voice disappear when near water or outdoors. Tablets couldn't go everywhere — and that meant communication couldn't either.
I decided to change that.
VocaSafe Watch™ was created to make communication accessible anywhere, anytime — through a durable, waterproof, sensory-friendly design that keeps AAC communication on the wrist.
This campaign helps us move from prototype to pilot, turning a lived experience into a solution for families around the world.
Vocasafe Watch Features
01
Seamless AAC Communication
VocaSafe Watch™ brings communication to the wrist — making every moment accessible.
Through compatibility with leading AAC systems, it empowers users to express themselves using personalized phrases, visual symbols, and text-to-speech features wherever they go.
Designed to complement existing AAC tools, VocaSafe extends the freedom to communicate anywhere, anytime.
02
Durable and Waterproof
Built for real life — from the pool to the playground.
VocaSafe Watch™ is completely waterproof and durable, ensuring that speech access never stops due to weather, spills, or water activities.
Every detail is engineered for everyday adventures, giving users confidence to communicate without limits.
03
Smart Safety for Peace of Mind
More than communication — it’s peace of mind.
With built-in GPS tracking and safety alerts, VocaSafe Watch™ helps caregivers, parents, and professionals stay connected.
Real-time location updates and customizable safe-zone notifications provide added security wherever users go.
04
Comfort That Adapts to Every User
Designed for comfort, built for inclusion.
The soft, interchangeable silicone straps reduce sensory discomfort while allowing self-expression through color and texture choices.
Whether in school, therapy, or community settings, VocaSafe Watch™ adapts to each user’s unique sensory needs.
The Impact
VocaSafe Watch™ creates transformative impact across multiple stakeholder groups: individuals with communication differences gain unprecedented independence and environmental access; families experience reduced anxiety and enhanced safety monitoring; educators and therapists access powerful new tools for AAC implementation in diverse settings.
Our technology empowers participation in activities previously inaccessible to AAC users — swimming lessons, water parks, outdoor recreation, rainy-day outings — fundamentally expanding quality of life and social inclusion. Early pilot feedback indicates significant improvements in caregiver confidence, user autonomy, and communication consistency across environments.

02
GPS Integration
Development of real-time location tracking system with geofencing capabilities, emergency alert protocols, and secure data transmission. Providing caregivers with peace of mind through sophisticated yet user-friendly safety monitoring.
03
Clinical Validation & Testing
Conducting extensive field trials with speech-language pathologists, autism specialists, and diverse user groups. Gathering critical feedback to refine AAC functionality, sensory design, and overall user experience for maximum impact.
04
Manufacturing
Establishing production partnerships with ISO-certified manufacturers specializing in medical-grade wearables. Implementing rigorous quality control protocols, supply chain management, and scalable manufacturing processes for reliable production.
05
Community Partnerships
Building partnerships with autism organizations, special education institutions, and therapy centers. Developing subsidized access programs, professional training materials, and community support networks to ensure VocaSafe reaches those who need it most.
06
Bridging the Communication Gap
Understanding the critical accessibility barrier facing AAC users and how VocaSafe Watch™ delivers a groundbreaking solution
The Solution
VocaSafe Watch™ bridges that gap by combining AAC accessibility with smart safety in one wearable design.
The Problem
AAC users rely on tablets or devices that are not waterproof or portable, often making communication impossible in everyday environments — pools, playgrounds, or community spaces. Families and caregivers face anxiety when communication tools can't travel with their loved one.
