Smart Response App Technologies Limited is set to launch a digital emergency response platform aimed at improving access to emergency assistance, personal safety and basic healthcare information in Nigeria, as technology companies explore solutions to the country\u2019s public safety challenges.\n<\/p>\n

The company will unveil its 112 Smart Response App under the \u2018Save the Dignity\u2019 initiative on November 26, 2026, with features designed to support emergency reporting across health, security, fire and road incidents.\n<\/p>\n

According to the company\u2019s pre-event press release, the platform will provide emergency alerts, GPS-enabled location sharing, wearable-device SOS activation, artificial intelligence-assisted health information and tools to help users identify nearby hospitals.\n<\/p>\n

The application is also designed to allow users to trigger distress alerts through supported wearable devices when they are unable to make conventional phone calls. It will include a university community forum for campus reporting, information sharing and engagement among students.<\/p>\n

Smart Response said the application is intended to complement, rather than replace, established emergency numbers, professional medical care and authorised emergency response agencies.\n<\/p>\n

The company, however, acknowledged that the effectiveness of the platform would depend on reliable internet connectivity, institutional cooperation and the operational readiness of emergency services.\n<\/p>\n

The initiative also includes a crowdfunding campaign through Donate-ng, seeking contributions from Nigerians at home and abroad, corporate organisations, philanthropists and development partners.\n<\/p>\n

According to the company, funds raised will support launch activities, public awareness campaigns, outreach, accessibility and deployment efforts, alongside its broader humanitarian objectives.
Victoria Chidinma Chukwu, founder and chief executive officer of Smart Response App Technologies Limited, said the initiative was designed to use technology to protect lives and improve access to emergency assistance.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 112 Smart Response App represents our commitment to using technology to help protect lives, improve access to emergency assistance and preserve human dignity,\u201d Chukwu said.\n<\/p>\n

She added that innovation should extend beyond convenience to create meaningful value for individuals and communities, calling on the public and potential partners to support the initiative.\n<\/p>\n

The company said the platform is being developed for individuals, families, students, communities and institutions, with opportunities for organisations to participate through partnerships and public support.\n<\/p>\n

The online launch will begin at 12 noon West Africa Time on Thursday, November 26, from the company\u2019s office conference room at Elephant House, 214 Broad Street, Marina, Lagos Island.
The platform is being developed by a founding team comprising Chukwu, co-founder and full-stack systems architect Samuel Peter Ntekob, and co-founder and chief technology officer Isaac Yakubu.\n<\/p>\n
