Reality

The smartphone is there, but can they use it?

We still teach our kids to call 911 in an emergency — but the reality is, many couldn’t actually do it today.

Landlines have disappeared. Smartphones have replaced them, but they’re often locked, out of reach, or too complicated to use under pressure. And DIY home security systems focus on property protection, often recording critical moments instead of helping resolve them.

The result is that simple access to emergency services has quietly become harder inside our homes...until now! Meet the Halo Button™!

Crisis to Connection

Think of this as your old-school landline — equipped with today’s technology.

You press

Simply press the button. Just like dialing 911 used to be. No unlocking, no searching, no confusion.

Context gets added

A secure audio and video connection begins, giving the dispatcher important context like where you are, how to enter, and what responders need to know all before you even start speaking.

911 answers the call

A direct connection to 911 opens. Two-way communication begins, with live video available to give dispatchers and responders critical context.

Data flows in real time

Live audio and video continue as responders are dispatched. Police, fire, and EMS are provided access to the same live audio and video stream, along with the shared context above, while en route, helping them arrive prepared.

Simple: Designed so anyone can use it

A five-year-old knows what to do. Your aging parent knows what to do. A guest in your home knows what to do. No instructions. No learning curve. Just press and you are connected to help.

Recognizable: Impossible to miss when seconds matter most

Wall-mounted and easy to spot, the Halo Button™ is as recognizable as a fire alarm. It doesn’t hide in a drawer, disappear into a menu, or require a password to use.

It’s always in the same place — day or night, for everyone in the home. Recognizable. Unmistakable. Ready.

Direct: No middleman between your family and help

When you press the Halo Button™, a 911 dispatcher answers. Not a call center operator. Not an algorithm deciding what happens next. Just a direct line to police, fire, and emergency medical services.

Ready: Always there when you need it most

Remember the landline? Same place, easy to find, always ready. The Halo Button™ brings that reliability back. Wall mounted, ready when you need it, and passive until it’s activated.

Context: Everything a dispatcher needs to help you

When you press the Halo Button™, dispatchers see your location, hear your voice, and can watch what's happening in real time. No guessing. No delays. Just the information that saves lives.

Private: Only listening when it matters most

The Halo Button™ stays dormant until you press it. No constant monitoring, no hidden microphones, and no data collection when help isn’t needed. Every Halo Button™ includes a privacy cover that physically shrouds the camera for added peace of mind, helps prevent accidental activations, and reduces false alarms.

The Difference

Built to help. Not to watch.

Home security focuses on property protection and smart home efficiency — often recording emergencies rather than helping resolve them. Smartphones are incredible tools, but they’re difficult to find, unlock, and use during emergencies.

The Halo Button™ exists to fill the gap completely overlooked by both.

Delivers critical information before the call connects.

Delivers precise location and familiar household details instantly, so responders arrive informed.

Purpose built for one thing: instant and informed connection to 911. No phone required. Simple installation. No learning curve. Anyone can use it.

From those who know

Parents and professionals in fire, EMS, and law enforcement express it best:

“We tell our kids to dial 911, but most of us don’t realize we’ve removed the very means to do it. The Cura Halo system gives that power back to them. It lets me breathe easier knowing my kids can get help quickly, even if I can’t.”

Amanda R.
Mom

“As a teacher, this would give me real peace of mind. I’ve always wished there were an easy, discreet way to get immediate help for my students or myself if something serious was happening in my classroom.”

Tricia H.
High School Teacher

“When we respond to an emergency, having information ahead of time matters. Knowing how to enter a home, who lives there, and being able to see what’s happening before we arrive can make a real difference in how fast and safely we help.”

Jack J.
Sheriff’s Deputy

“In medical emergencies, seconds count. Having access to things like allergies, existing conditions, and clear communication before we arrive helps us treat patients faster and more safely from the moment we step inside.”

AJ H.
Paramedic

“What I love about this is how simple it is. Anyone can use it. There’s no learning curve, no passwords, no confusion. That makes it far easier to teach and trust compared to smartphones or complicated systems.”

Shelia M.
Elementary School Principal

Real Parents. Real Mission.

We’re the Rosenbergs — Reed, Amanda, Rhett, and Charlie — a family from Eugene, Oregon, building Cura out of real life, not a boardroom.

Like so many parents, we found ourselves asking a simple but unsettling question: If something happened at home…how would our kids actually get help? That question became our mission. First to solve it for our own family — and now to help other parents, caregivers, and families feel more prepared at home.

Peace of mind, even when you’re not there.

The Halo app is designed to support the Halo Button™, not replace it. While the button works independently in an emergency, the app helps you prepare ahead of time, stay informed, and stay connected when you’re away from home. With the Halo app, you can:

Set up and manage your Halo devices including subscriptions and household settings.

Enter and update critical context like location details, access instructions, medical needs, and household information before an emergency happens.

Stay connected when you’re away by looking and listening in during an emergency, with live video, audio, and transcriptions, while also accessing preparedness tips, tools, and certifications.

The 1% That Gives Back

Cura is deeply personal to us. Our daughter received care for a cleft lip and palate at OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. The Pediatric Cleft and Craniofacial Reconstructive Team didn’t just treat her — they changed our lives.

Because of that experience, we’ve committed to donating 1% of Cura’s annual revenue back to the Doernbecher team. It’s our way of helping ensure more families receive the same world-class care that meant everything to us.
