Meningkatnya jumlah lansia di Indonesia membawa konsekuensi terhadap kebutuhan sistem pendukung yang mampu menjamin keamanan dan kesejahteraan mereka, terutama bagi lansia yang hidup sendiri. Kondisi hidup sendiri meningkatkan kerentanan lansia terhadap risiko jatuh, sakit mendadak, maupun keadaan darurat memerlukan bantuan orang lain. Sampai saat ini, pemanfaatan teknologi darurat sederhana yang ramah lansia di tingkat komunitas masih terbatas. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat di Kelurahan Purbayan Kota Yogyakarta menginisiasi pengembangan Gelang Emergensi untuk Lansia Hidup Sendiri (GEULIS) sebagai solusi inovatif berbasis teknologi Internet of Things (IoT). Prototipe gelang ini dirancang dengan sistem tombol darurat sederhana yang dapat mengirimkan pesan melalui aplikasi WhatsApp kepada anggota keluarga atau kader, ketika lansia membutuhkan pertolongan. Kegiatan pengabdian meliputi identifikasi kebutuhan lansia, perancangan dan pengembangan prototipe, serta uji coba pada lansia hidup sendiri. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa perangkat berfungsi dengan baik dalam mengirimkan sinyal darurat. Desain cukup wearable dan user-friendly namun masih memerlukan pengembangan untuk kemudahan penggunaan. Program ini membuka peluang pengembangan lanjutan agar dapat digunakan secara lebih luas di komunitas.
