Hajj Guider – smart health connected bracelet for pilgrims from Mecca

Hajj Guider imagined a smart health connected bracelet to help pilgrims arriving in Mecca. He will have to help them to communicate but also to move during Hajj and Umrah.

Hajj Guider works without cellular or internet signals and can operate for up to five days on a single charge. It allows you to communicate, monitoring your activity and your movements. It also offers walkie talkie functionality with a range of up to three kilometers.

This wearable can work without a smartphone. A dedicated application, Hajj Guider, however, allows access to more features, including access to the phone’s GPS chip. The smartphone application also offers a detailed map for Hajj and Umrah, help with certain rituals and the possibility of booking a trip. You can also locate your friends and family.

"The original idea was to create a mobile app to help pilgrims during Hajj and Umrah," said co-founder Hasam Ahmed Khan in an interview with The Express Tribune. Hasam Ahmed Khan added: "We are in talks with the Hajj ministry in Pakistan to make this bracelet compulsory for Pakistani pilgrims. They seem very interested in using the product. "

This project started and started at Plan 9, a technology incubator from the Punjab Information Technology Board after obtaining $ 30,000 in start-up funds from Oasis500, a fund located in the Middle East. Although Hajj Guider has competitors, such as GEO-SOS, these alternatives are expensive and require a smartphone to operate.
