SMART WEARABLE DEVICE FOR CHILD SAFETY USING IOT

Computer Engineering

This project discusses the concept of a smart wearable device for little children. The major pros of this wearable over other wearable is that it can be used in any cellphone and doesn't necessarily require an expensive smartphone and not a very tech savvy individual to operate. The purpose of this device is to help the parents to locate their child with ease. At the moment there are many wearables in the market which help track the daily activity of children and also help find the child using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth services present on the device. But Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) and Bluetooth appear to be an unreliable medium of communicationbetween the parent and child. Therefore, the focus of this project is to have an SMS text enabled communication medium betweenthe child's wearable and the parent as the environment for GSM mobile communication. The parent can send a text as SMS with specific keywords such as “LOCATION”, “TEMPERATURE”, “SOS”, “BUZZ”, etc., to the wearable device. The device will repy back with a text containing the real time accurate location of the child and will also provide the surrounding temperature, so that the parents can keep track if the temperature not suitable for the child. The secondary measure implemented was using a bright SOS Light and distress alarm buzzer present on the wearable device which can be activated by the parents via SMS text to display the SOS signal brightly and sound an alarm which a bystander can instantly react for the child's safety till the parents arrive or they could contact the parents and help locate them. Hence this project aims at providing parents with a sense of security for their child in today's time.
