Stalking smartwatch to be given to sensitive cases first

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 14 - An anti-stalking and anti gender violence smartwatch being trialled in Rome will first be given to the most sensitive cases and then, as it becomes fully operational, it will be disseminated more widely, sources said Tuesday.
    The device will be connected directly to the operations centre of the Carabinieri Provincial Command in Rome and, when worn by the victim of persecutory acts or in any case of gender-based violence, it can be activated directly by the victim if she sees herself in danger, but also automatically in the event of an attack.
    The watch's pilot project was presented Tuesday at the Public Prosecutor's Office, in Rome, as part of a protocol signed by Chief Prosecutor Francesco Lo Voi and General Marco Pecci, head of the Carabinieri High Command. (ANSA).
