Howl Alert: Personal Security Mobile Application

Howl needed a trusted technology partner to scale their personal security platform and integrate connected devices. Mutually Human re-architected the system using AWS, enabling smart camera support, real-time alerts, and collaborative safety features for users and their trusted “Pack.”

Personal Security Mobile Application

Howl, a startup based in New York focuses on securing individuals in their home or on the go. This is a fresh take on traditional security solutions that can focus on securing the entire property. Howl users build a trusted group of family, friends, and neighbors, which become their “Pack”. These are other users that can easily reach each other in case of an emergency.

Business Challenge:

Howl was looking for a trusted partner that could establish an IoT architecture that would scale with their business, assist with interfacing with other devices and could help them navigate some of the unique challenges of IoT.

Approach:

Mutually Human reimagined Howl’s platform, transforming it into a scalable AWS-based solution with connected device support and social safety features.

Howl turned to Mutually Human as Cloud, Voice, and IoT experts to take a fresh look at their existing platform to ensure they would be able to support their users in a scalable and reliable fashion. After a full discovery and planning session with Howl, Mutually Human helped to pivot their current platform into a highly scalable solution built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), including the support for connected security cameras as well as social platform features for user collaboration and engagement.

Results:

Mutually Human delivered a secure mobile and cloud platform that powers real-time alerts, location-based updates, and voice-activated emergency features for Howl users.

Foundation and supported architecture for location-based news, events, police reports, and missing person events.
