eyeWitness to Atrocities - The International Bar Association / Compsoft

Best New Service or Application

eyeWitness to Atrocities captures images, video and audio through a disguised camera app - the app icon is designed to look like a third-party camera, preventing recognition without detailed inspection. Media is recorded along with comprehensive device metadata such as GPS location, date, time and content verification data. Users have the option to add notes and tags to the content, which is stored in a secure in-app Vault rather than the device’s image gallery. The media is then uploaded to a secure server, where it can be reviewed by the IBA’s team of experts.

REALRIDER® - REALRIDER® / Gospelware

Best New Service or Application

REALRIDER® is an application for motorcycle enthusiasts, an online community for journey sharing that also promotes road safety. The idea was pioneered following information from Great North Air Ambulance that indicated a problem between motorcycle crashes and rescue. Accidents often occur on rural roads where a rider is solo at the point of crash, and finding them within the ‘golden hour’ is imperative to boost survival chances. This app bridges the gap between crash and recovery, alerting emergency services if a rider is in trouble, and in turn offers riders peace of mind when out on the road.
