ABSTRACT

Child Safety Wearable Device

This paper introduces a pioneering smart wearable device tailored for the safety of young children,
offering a unique advantage by seamlessly interfacing with standard cell phones, obviating the need
for high-end smartphones and technical proficiency. The primary focus is to afford parents a reliable
and user-friendly solution for tracking and communicating with their children.

In contrast to prevalent wearables relying on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, this device capitalizes on the
widespread GSM mobile communication network, establishing an SMS text-based communication
channel. Parents can employ specific keywords, such as "LOCATION," "TEMPERATURE," "UV," "SOS,"
and "BUZZ," initiating real-time communication with the child's wearable. The device responds
promptly, providing precise location data and environmental information via the Google Maps app.

Motivated by the recognition that technological solutions may encounter limitations, this paper
advocates for a complementary safety measure. It involves leveraging individuals in the child's
immediate surroundings who can respond swiftly in emergencies, offering assistance until parents
arrive or aiding in locating them. The wearable incorporates a bright SOS light and a distress alarm
buzzer, both activated by parents through SMS text, serving as conspicuous distress signals for
bystanders.

This proposed device seeks to bolster parents' confidence in ensuring their children's safety by
delivering a versatile communication tool coupled with innovative secondary safety features. The
integration of accessible and reliable technologies aims to provide a comprehensive solution for
contemporary parenting challenges.
