Smart Response App Technologies Limited is set to launch its 112 Smart Response App on November 26, 2026, in a technology-driven initiative aimed at improving access to emergency assistance, personal safety and basic healthcare information in Nigeria. The platform, to be unveiled under the Save the Dignity initiative, is designed to support emergency reporting and response across health, security, fire and road accident situations. The launch is expected to introduce a digital solution that connects individuals in distress with emergency responders and loved ones through location-based technology.
The application features GPS-enabled emergency alerts, wearable-device SOS activation, artificial intelligence-assisted health information and tools for identifying nearby hospitals. One of its key features allows users to activate distress signals through compatible smartwatches and other supported wearable devices when they are unable to make conventional phone calls. The platform will also incorporate a university community forum to facilitate campus incident reporting, information sharing and engagement among students. These features are intended to make emergency reporting faster and improve access to relevant assistance.
Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Smart Response App Technologies Limited, Victoria Chidinma Chukwu, said the initiative reflects the company’s commitment to deploying technology to protect lives, improve access to emergency services and preserve human dignity. She explained that technology innovation should go beyond convenience to address practical challenges affecting individuals and communities. The company also emphasised that the application is designed to complement existing emergency numbers, professional medical services and authorised emergency response agencies rather than replace them.
The company has also initiated a crowdfunding campaign through Donate-ng to mobilise financial support from Nigerians at home and abroad, corporate organisations, philanthropists and development partners. Funds raised are expected to support the application’s launch, public awareness campaigns, accessibility and wider deployment. The unveiling will take place online and from the company’s conference room at Elephant House, 214 Broad Street, Marina, Lagos Island, beginning at 12 noon on November 26. The success of the platform, however, will depend on reliable internet connectivity, effective collaboration with emergency response institutions and the readiness of relevant agencies to act on distress alerts received through the system.
