The T.U.S.K. Cane modernizes traditional trekking sticks into proactive digital guardians to counter flash floods, hiking accidents, and elderly medical crises in Malaysia. Unlike "passive" smartphones that fail if a user loses consciousness, this low-cost tool utilizes automated Arduino sensor intelligence. The 3-in-1 system automatically detects flood depths, activates headlights in the dark, and blasts a high-pitch rescue siren during sudden falls without requiring manual activation. This effectively bridges the safety gap for low-income households while directly supporting UN SDG 11.5 by protecting vulnerable lives during unpredictable disasters.
