Survey Reveals Safety Concerns Limit Daily Activities for 38% of Women, Highlighting Need for Always-On Personal Security Solutions

A recent survey by LogicMark, Inc. (OTC: LGMK) reveals that safety concerns are actively limiting the daily lives of a significant portion of women in the United States. The survey, which focused on women between the ages of 18 and 25, found that 44% of respondents reported moderate to significant limitations due to safety concerns, including avoiding certain routes, activities, travel and social events. Overall, 38% of all women surveyed said safety concerns limit their daily activities. These findings highlight a hidden cost of feeling unsafe: a gradual erosion of mobility, independence and quality of life.

According to the survey, safety anxiety can shape career choices, fitness routines and social interactions. Women may forgo career paths that require late-night shifts or travel, avoid jogging outdoors or skip evening social events to avoid traveling home alone. Over time, these everyday decisions compound, restricting opportunity and spontaneity. The survey further indicates that these limitations are not based solely on perception: over half of the women surveyed have experienced situations where they felt unsafe, with younger women reporting repeated experiences. Yet, when they needed help, they often could not reach it because traditional safety devices like personal sirens or pepper spray are not practical to carry or capable of contacting emergency services.

LogicMark aims to address these challenges with its Aster app and Aster SOS Safety Button. The Aster app transforms a smartphone into a connected safety tool, offering features such as a home-screen slider for immediate emergency access, a Hold Until Safe feature for proactive monitoring, and a Follow-Me feature that schedules safety check-ins during travel. If a user becomes unresponsive, the app automatically escalates to emergency support. Location sharing is activated only during an emergency, balancing rapid response with privacy.

Complementing the app is the Aster Bluetooth button, a compact, wearable device that provides fast, discreet access to help without needing to unlock a phone. With three presses, users are connected to a 24/7 monitoring center where an agent can assess the situation and stay on the line until the user is safe. The button can be clipped to a purse, keychain, backpack or clothing, and its long battery life ensures it is always accessible. By providing continuous monitoring that works even when users cannot initiate help themselves, Aster aims to give women the confidence to reclaim their mobility and independence, ensuring they do not have to shrink their lives to feel secure.
