Personal Testimony

There have been nights I’ve felt unsafe walking alone, especially after hearing about nearby emergencies.

Having a drone that responds instantly, connects to emergency systems, and delivers medical aid would bring real peace of mind, making me feel safe on my own campus

ERIS Deployment

Eris is built to safeguard students and communities by offering on-demand security and life-saving medical support. Designed to integrate with existing emergency systems, Eris autonomously patrols campuses and neighborhoods, responding instantly to crises like overdoses or safety threats.

We’re rolling out Eris through pilot programs at universities and local hubs, working closely with safety officials and healthcare responders. Our goal is to create a reliable, tech-driven safety net that empowers people to feel safer—and be safer—where they live, learn, and grow.
