About

WanderAlert Personal is what the Life Alert pendant becomes when you rebuild it with 2026 hardware. Four communication paths instead of one: LoRa mesh → LTE-M cellular → WiFi → BLE local — no single point of failure. NOAA Weather Radio integration means the device alerts you to tornado, flood, wildfire, heat, and winter storm warnings with pre-storm safehouse locations. Operates when cellular is congested or failed during disasters, which is exactly when you need it most. Chosen network dispatch — your people, not a monitoring center. Form factors include watch, pendant, belt clip, wall unit, and wearable patch. Elder configuration adds wandering detection and medication reminders. DV survivor configuration has location privacy from abuser built in. Immigration configuration has no automatic law enforcement, ever.

Hand-assembled

Built by supported employment workers — people with intellectual disabilities, autism, and physical disabilities — through WWP's fulfillment program. Every product ships with a Built By card. Competitive wage, never 14(c) subminimum.

Repair & refurb

Send it back. Prepaid label. Component-level repair, module upgrades, firmware updates. 7-year spare parts guarantee. Donate on return — refurbished hardware goes to shelter and community partners. GPL firmware: the device works even if WanderVerse shuts down.

No hardware subscription — ever

BMW charged $18/mo for heated seats already in your car. GM locked remote start. Eero charges for VPN on hardware that could run it free. We don't do that. You bought it, you own it — every feature works forever, no subscription required. WanderAssist ($9/mo optional) is a convenience layer, never a gate. Safety features are never paywalled.

Pro & Lux tiers — coming

Every WanderVerse hardware product will offer Pro and Lux finish tiers — premium materials and handcrafted finishes by WanderVerse Artisans: supported employment workers with artistic skills. Each Lux unit ships with a Finished By card. Lux revenue cross-subsidizes nonprofit pricing.
