I knew I could make a better evacuation map. One that anyone could learn in under a minute and remember, even in a state of panic. And that's what I did.
Founded in 2018, LOCI has its genesis in web-based virtual reality and decentralized, autonomous networks. While developing privacy-protecting solutions for the immersive web, Founder & CEO Samantha Mathews began shifting the company’s focus towards safety, designing and building LOCI’s first safety systems.
A safety learning Software as a Service (SaaS) platform, LOCI closes crucial gaps in technical learning and removes risk. The delivery methods for training that LOCI has created do not currently exist in the market. As founder and leader, Mathews has a long history in breakthrough tech ventures and steers LOCI toward providing solutions that tap into neuroscience to change human behaviour and provide safety that is accessible to and effective for all people.
LOCI is a location-centric course creation and learning management system for safety training. The platform enables the generation of content tailored to any environment and delivered in a gamified mobile format, empowering people with stronger recall that can withstand the panic test.
The LOCI platform offers three systems: Germ Safe, Exit Test and Safety Check. Each system has a unique method of engagement that combines gamification and location-centric content to deliver a more effective training experience.
LOCI integrates with existing enterprise software systems to create a database of any location, providing a powerful, verifiable informational framework for places that enables better oversight and reduces risk. LOCI’s systems are the connection point where fire safety, property and casualty insurance, enterprise, and physical location meet to make spaces and people safer.
Through Mathews’ visionary leadership, LOCI’s neurologically proven training systems are evolving safety and spurring the adoption of verifiable credentials as an alternative to raw data collection. Her innovative approaches to data, privacy and decentralized web systems has led to speaking engagements at Stanford University, Siggraph, Google and SXSW to name a few. Through her participation in the W3C Credentials Community Group and other organizations focused on trust, data and identity, Mathews has dedicated herself to building a healthier, more human digital ecosystem.
An experienced software and systems designer, Mathews has a proven track record of technical innovation in areas of impact such as crowd modeling, live-streaming events, web-based virtual reality, offline networking, interoperability in credentialing for identity and privacy, immersive learning, and safety systems design.
