To call for help, a user only needs to press the SOS button on the bracelet twice in quick succession.
This action lets them send a text message to five emergency contacts or ‘guardian angels’.
This message includes the wearer’s location and also marks their coordinates on Google Maps every two minutes.
Mr Jagtiani came up with the idea for his smart band after a close friend was abducted and tortured in a case of mistaken identity, he told The Wall Street Journal.
‘That incident instilled ideas in my mind as to what we could do to save someone or how someone could send out their location in an emergency,’ he said.
When users first set up the bracelet, they use the app to select their five emergency contacts.
And although a call for help can be sent simply by tapping the button on the band, an emergency message can also be sent by using a linked smartphone’s power button or via the app itself - much like other rival safety apps.
Mr Jagtiani told MailOnline that his target users are women, senior citizens and visually impaired people and he has found the bracelets are in demand by middle class people in developing countries.
The bracelet costs $45 (£27) including shipping and there is also a pendant version available for the same cost via the spotNsave website.
Mr Jagtiani claims that he sold 880 of them in the first two months they were available.
