All cyclists accept, to some extent, the fact that they will fall some day. No one knows when that’ll happen, or how bad it'll be, but it’s certain that it will occur. That's why cyclists wear helmets and pads and ride with buddies. There are times (quite frequently), though, that they can't wrangle together a crew to ride with but go out nonetheless because they love the sport. There are also times (unfortunately so) where helmets and pads aren't capable of fully protecting them. Compounded with often nonexistent cell service where cyclists are riding, these people can find themselves to be quite helpless, left to the mercy of the wilderness.
The goal of BudE is to minimize the danger of these situations by acting as a smart “buddy” device and calling for help when the outdoor enthusiast can’t. BudE aims to address these problems using refined algorithms, novel technology, and satellite communication to effectively, and reliably, get emergency response to victims as soon as possible. With serious traumatic brain injuries - which are the most common culprit for a loss of consciousness - it is imperative that help is found promptly.
