Wearable Smart Gadget for Child Monitoring based on the Internet of Things

Nowadays, technology is rapidly advancing, providing all necessary and efficient solutions to any problem. Even now, protecting children is a major topic of concern. This paper proposes a wearable device for tracking children that provides a comprehensive and convenient solution for parents to ensure their child’s safety. The device uses a master-slave model of Bluetooth communication and also allows real-time tracking of the child’s location. The system is built using low-cost open- source IoT platforms, and the firmware uses Bluetooth and GPS modules for communication between parent and child devices. An alert system with an audible alarm included, enabling bystanders to quickly react and help keep the child safe until the parents arrive. IoT technology is also being used to make it easier to track the child. The proposed wearable device has the potential to enhance the safety and security of children and provide peace of mind to parents.
