In the fast-paced and demanding world of construction, safety isn't just a priority; it's a fundamental necessity. Every day, thousands of hardworking individuals put their lives on the line to build our cities and communities. At Twiceme, we understand the critical importance of not only providing reliable protection but also offering innovative solutions that empower both workers and rescuers alike.

Partnering for Progress

Our partnership model is rooted in the belief that safety should never be compromised. By collaborating with leading construction helmet brands, we integrate state-of-the-art technology into their products, elevating safety standards for everyone. Our partners, renowned for their commitment to excellence, recognize the value we bring to their customers: enhanced protection coupled with advanced functionality.

Take Studson, for example, who started in 2019 intending to revolutionize the construction industry through climbing-style helmets. An industry that had been stagnant for a century. Today, they’ve become the #1 choice for contractors in the USA, and Twiceme is part of that journey. As we onboarded close to 450+ contractors in Q4 of 2023, most of them with Studson helmets at the site, this demonstrates the tremendous growth they’ve achieved.

Through the partnership model, we provide value to brands through anonymized data insights, assisting them in adding new innovations to their equipment through easy integration, and more. We can also reach a much higher scale in the value we provide to contractors and workers at the site compared to if we sold directly to consumers. This is why partnering with world-leading brands has been our sole focus, and it's rapidly transforming the construction industry.

Bringing Value Beyond the Surface

But our mission extends far beyond product enhancement. We are dedicated to delivering tangible value to contractors and workers, ensuring that every innovation serves a practical purpose. From continuous gear monitoring to instant alerts, our solutions are designed to empower individuals with the information they need to make informed decisions and effectively mitigate risks.

Privacy Concerns Solved

Twiceme initially began as an integrated Medical ID because rescuers have sought a solution for decades that allows them to understand more about an injured person as they arrive at the accident site. However, privacy laws like GDPR and HIPAA have made this challenging. These laws serve a real purpose in protecting individuals' medical information and more. Through Twiceme, by storing this information locally in the equipment, one can provide this information without compromising personal data or risking it being hacked.

Sometimes, though, people worry that changing gear might leave their information vulnerable. Or that if they leave their gear, someone can scan it and access all their personal information. Sure, that’s true. Just as someone can rob you off your wallet or car keys. Because you have to tap the equipment to access the information, it’s rare you don’t notice someone scanning you. Also, we’ve made it easy to delete the locally stored information, and reupload it the next time you’re using the equipment.

Solving More Issues

As time progressed, we developed additional features that protect workers before and after an incident. Before an incident, we assist them in monitoring their equipment through regular checks and even through product inspection directly within Twiceme, ensuring compliance at all times with laws. After an accident, we now offer all the critical alerting and identification functionalities needed to take action as a bystander and become a helper.

But it’s not just that Twiceme allows workers to be more prepared in case of an accident. The construction industry is plagued by high litigation costs and the consequences of accidents. Through Twiceme, one can likely substantially decrease these costs because you are more prepared before an accident even occurs. This means that one can shift investment into preventive measures instead of reactive ones.

Continuous Innovation

As Twiceme is a digital product, there’s nothing holding us back in terms of opportunities to provide more value, both to our partners and workers. Such as what we did with our partner Guardian Fall, where we developed a comprehensive product inspection feature for fall protection harnesses. All within Twiceme and specifically made for competent persons.

And later this year, we’re latching on functionalities that might transform how contractors use Twiceme on a daily basis. More on this later this spring, but to give a hint, it will allow workers to upload all their documents, training records, certifications, and more to their gear. Plus, we’re adding even more functionalities for safety managers and competent persons.

Empowering Helpers: Our Ethos

At the heart of Twiceme lies a deep-seated commitment to those who safeguard our communities: the rescuers. Our technologies are engineered not only to protect but also to facilitate rapid response and rescue operations. By forging close ties with rescue teams and first responders, we ensure that our solutions not only meet but exceed the expectations of those on the front lines. That's why we work with over 400 rescue organizations around the world to drive awareness, and to build a knowledgebase of what actually brings value in real life scenarios.

Interview with Jacob - A Real Scenario Where Twiceme was Needed

“I myself work as a service technician in ventilation and was there to carry out a job when I learnt that one of the people on the site had fallen from a beam. The situation seemed serious, and it was difficult to find out who the person in question was, which shift he belonged to and whether he even spoke Swedish - Foreign subcontractors are very common.

It all resulted in an ambulance being called and colleagues, while waiting for the ambulance, having to do their best to communicate with the injured man who did not seem to respond to calls. Afterwards, it turned out that the person in question was a foreign worker working for one of the subcontractors, and that his entire family was in his home country. Thankfully, he seemed to have fully recovered. In retrospect, I think it would have been good to know more about the man, he was after all a colleague, and that he didn't speak Swedish - and therefore might have had difficulty responding to calls. I also think about his family, if they had time to get worried before they heard anything from him.”

Conclusion: A Safer Tomorrow Starts Today

In the ever-evolving landscape of construction safety, Twiceme stands as a beacon of innovation and reliability. Twiceme can't prevent accidents from occurring. But what we can do is help those who will help you if an accident happens. Getting the right help quickly after an accident can be a life or death difference. By turning a helmet or piece of equipment into a source of information, Twiceme provides bystanders with the answers they need to make the best decisions when it’s needed the most. By simply tapping the Twiceme symbol with a smartphone, the first person on the scene can access an incapacitated user's uploaded profile, which may include fields such as medical history, personal identifiers, ICE contacts, insurance information and exact coordinates.
