What is Twiceme? Everything you need to know.

The Company Building a Digital Safety Standard

Twiceme is a Swedish safety technology company that embeds NFC hardware into personal protective equipment (PPE) — helmets, harnesses, fall protection, safety vests and other personal equipment — turning everyday safety gear into connected safety devices. With a single tap of a smartphone, that hardware gives a rescuer, bystander, or safety manager instant access to the information they need.

Founded in Stockholm in 2019, Twiceme doesn't make helmets or harnesses. Instead, it's the technology inside the gear the world's leading brands already produce — a digital ingredient that makes safety smarter. Today more than 50 partner brands build with it, and Twiceme is distributing over 2 million pieces of Twiceme-enabled equipment into the market every year, at an exponentially growing pace.

What does Twiceme do?

Twiceme integrates low-tech hardware to deliver high-tech safety outcomes. At the heart of every Twiceme-enabled product is a piece of passive NFC hardware built on a universal standard, optimized for a great user experience when scanning. Because it's passive, it needs no power, no charging, and no maintenance over the life of the equipment — it simply works when tapped.

That single piece of hardware powers a complete ecosystem with three parts:

• Twiceme-equipped gear — PPE and sports equipment with the hardware integrated at the point of manufacture.

• The Twiceme app — a free iOS and Android app that lets users store a Medical ID, register their gear, and access a suite of connected safety features.

• The Safety Management Portal (SMP) — a cloud platform that lets organizations track equipment inspections, monitor certifications, and manage worker safety and compliance in one place.

One piece of hardware serves two audiences at once: the individual wearing the gear, and the organization responsible for keeping them safe.

How does Twiceme work?

The process is deliberately simple, because safety technology that's complicated doesn't get used in an emergency.

A user downloads the Twiceme app, enters their Medical ID and personal information, and taps their phone against the Twiceme symbol on their gear to upload it. From that point on, the information lives on the equipment itself. If that person is later injured and unable to speak, a first responder or bystander taps a smartphone against the same gear and instantly sees who they are, their medical details, and their emergency contacts — the difference between guessing and knowing in the first critical minutes.

For professional teams, the same tap also links the worker to their organization's safety records, connecting the person, the equipment, and the compliance data behind them.

Two ways the technology helps: sharing information and raising the alarm

Twiceme's technology supports two distinct use cases, and the app is built around both.

Information-sharing features put the right information in a helper's hands at the moment of need:

• Medical ID — critical medical details stored on the gear, accessible with a tap even if the wearer can't speak.

• Emergency contacts — instantly available to whoever is providing aid.

• Equipment and documentation — for professional users, the gear links to inspection records, certificates, and safety documents.

Alerting features actively get help moving when something goes wrong:

• SOS Alert — send an alert with your exact location to emergency contacts when you need help.

• Immobility Alert — automatically notifies contacts if the app detects the wearer may be incapacitated.

• Location Sharing — keeps trusted contacts informed of your whereabouts during an activity.

• Get-back timer — flags contacts if you don't check in by an expected time.

The value for partner brands

For the brands that integrate it, Twiceme is more than a safety feature — it's a way to elevate the product itself. Adding Twiceme increases a product's value by more than it costs to integrate, which means partner brands can ultimately strengthen their margins while offering something genuinely differentiated.

Integration also unlocks data. Through Consumer Connect, available in the Partner Portal, brands gain insights from anonymized data on the products reaching the market — a clearer view of how their gear is being used in the real world, which most PPE and sports brands have never had access to before.

Twiceme for professionals: the Safety Management Portal

In industrial and construction environments, the challenge isn't just individual rescue — it's proving that an entire workforce and its equipment are compliant, on any given day and to any auditor who asks. The Safety Management Portal (SMP) was built to solve this, and it's the product Twiceme believes will define its long-term value.

The SMP began as a way to track PPE and certificates — which helmet belonged to whom, and when it was last inspected — and has grown into a single place to manage compliance across an entire crew. Today it brings together several capabilities that safety managers and EHS leads rely on daily:

• Compliance tracking. Define the certificates and documents each job role requires, and the SMP keeps a live read on who's covered and who isn't. Open a worker and one screen shows what's in date, what's expiring, and what's missing — no cross-referencing spreadsheets. Existing training matrices import directly via CSV or XLSX.

• Inspection management. Overdue, upcoming, and completed inspections sit on one dashboard with your compliance rate on top. Intervals are set per equipment category, automatic reminders chase the right worker before anything lapses, and any inspection exports as a report — including a colorblind-friendly format. Templates cover standards like NFPA 1850, PAPR, and SRL.

• Field observations. Crews can report a hazard from the mobile app — a photo, a severity, a note — and it lands in the SMP with location and a comment thread to resolve, closing a loop that used to live in text messages.

• Integrations. Sync rosters from BambooHR and pull documents from Procore, Google Drive, and OneDrive, with each connection's keys encrypted per workspace.

• Built for real crews. Role-based access (including a scoped foreman role for crew leads), passwordless magic-link sign-in for workers, bulk worker import, and shared documents for SDS sheets, handbooks, and policies.

The result: when an auditor or general contractor asks "is this crew qualified for this work?", the answer is one screen, not a folder of PDFs and a spreadsheet you hope is current. The SMP turns compliance from a scramble before an audit into a continuous, verifiable state — and it's expanding toward a single system for every asset on site, with retrofittable NFC inspection tags that bring gear you already own, from ladders to fire extinguishers, into the same dashboard as your PPE.

Twiceme's technology is integrated into professional PPE from brands including Studson, LIFT Safety, Bullard, Guardian, Helly Hansen, Schuberth, and Centurion, with particularly strong adoption across the North American construction market.

Twiceme for sports: helping the helper

Twiceme's roots are in the outdoors, where the person best placed to save someone is usually whoever is closest. In 2023 the company sharpened this focus around a simple idea — help the helper — and has continued to deepen it in the sports space.

When an athlete is hurt on a mountain or trail, the Twiceme app and integrated gear help nearby people and rescue patrols respond faster: instant Medical ID access on a tap, SOS and immobility alerts, and location sharing that gets help moving sooner. Twiceme actively collaborates with over 400 rescue organizations worldwide — including ICAR, FIPS, NSP, AMGA, and NSAA — to educate ski and bike patrollers on using the technology in the field.

The technology is built into gear from leading sports brands including POC, Oakley, Smith, and Haglöfs.

The Twiceme business model: HeSaaS

Twiceme operates a HeSaaS model — Hardware-enabled Software as a Service. The foundation is a digital ingredient brand: Twiceme hardware is integrated into partner products and distributed into the market at scale, in the spirit of an "Intel Inside" for safety. On top of that foundation now sits a SaaS layer, delivered through the Safety Management Portal, which turns installed hardware into a recurring, compliance-grade software relationship with the organizations that use it.

Twiceme has been building the distribution of Twiceme-enabled gear in the market since 2019. With that groundwork now laid, adoption is ramping up exponentially as more and more users connect to the ecosystem.
