A discreet object that sits on your hand like a piece of jewelry, but becomes a lifeline the moment you need help
Smart ring with a panic button
NIMB
With one subtle press, a silent alert is sent to the response team selected in the NIMB app
A soft vibration confirms the signal has gone out and that someone is already on their way
NIMB was created to work in the background: calm, minimal, and quietly reliable
Its form is shaped around ergonomics and hardware logic. A hypoallergenic stainless-steel core carries the internal components — the battery and the PCB — arranged at the top where space is maximized.
The side button, LED and charging contacts live on a flexible board that adapts to each of the nine available sizes, from US4 to US12. Everything inside follows one rule: use space rationally, feel comfortable daily, behave predictably in a moment.
NIMB is not designed to attract attention.
It is designed to give you confidence.
A clean, quiet object — beautiful up close, invisible when it needs to be
When danger happens, you don’t want friction.
You want a gesture you can trust
The panic button sits at a 45° angle, protected from accidental activation.
To trigger it, you press and hold for three seconds —
long enough to avoid false alarms, short enough to feel immediate.
LED and vibration feedback confirm every stage: alert sent, help on the way.
The outer shell is made of soft matte plastic in white or black, both pairing elegantly with the polished steel frame.
The silhouette is symmetrical, with a thin shank that gently thickens toward the top — allowing the ring to sit naturally on any hand.
