A native iOS and Apple Watch app built to support Logan City Council staff during high-risk interactions.
Logan City Council partnered with Telstra Purple to design and deliver a native iOS and watchOS solution that improves safety for council staff working alone in the field. The iPhone app and its Apple Watch companion allow workers to discreetly trigger a duress alert if they feel unsafe. Once activated, the system notifies their team—enabling a quiet, coordinated response without drawing attention or escalating the situation. This solution provides a critical safety layer for staff operating in unpredictable or high-risk environments.
We explored, designed, and tested mobile solutions to help Logan City Council staff manage high-risk interactions with the public—supporting a safer and more productive work environment.
