Abstract
Intimate partner violence remains a critical social phenomenon in today’s societies. Among the different effective
resources and tools to address it, technology seems to offer an innovative procedure to reduce its impact. This
article is based on the potential contribution of technology to protect female victims, offering a qualitative
analysis of the testimonies of experts who contributed to an ongoing project to design a device capable of
providing automatic and immediate warning when women are in at-risk situations. The analysis of the discourses
of the experts interviewed provided valuable information to explore the possibilities, limitations and unforeseen
effects offered by technology in general, and this new device in particular, for tackling intimate partner violence.
