The KinderGUARD^TM Product

KinderGUARD^TM  involves the creative integration of highly innovative technologies, on four levels :

- The unique combination of GPS (location technology), bio-metrics (monitoring of bio-signs), and the software capability to define and establish behavioural rule parameters  - all combining to achieve an unrivalled personal security solution.

- The achievement of this solution in a very small, discreet and easy to carry form.

- The maximisation of user accessibility – by using all available web, wireless, telecoms, and media technologies to facilitate user interaction.

- The integration of the most advanced hardware and software at all levels of the system – to maximise performance, functionality and operational reliability.

 KinderGUARD^TM contains a miniature chip with its own power source that calibrates a GPS signal.  This signal can then be accessed from any Internet-connected device, and over-laid onto a digital map of the area to indicate physical spatial location anywhere in the world.

Parents and carers can, through the KinderGUARD^TM secure application software, define the weekly calender of events and locations for their child / children, and then subsequently monitor and report their exact position in real time.  The system will also be capable of monitoring and reporting the previous locations of the child over a specified period of time. 

KinderGUARD^TM will also contain the unique capability to generate and transmit a "biometric signature"  that is unique to the wearer– this will enable parents to monitor attributes such as skin temperature, heart signal, stress level, etc.  This will also act as confirmation that the device continues to be worn by the intended child – and if removed (and / or an attribute of the biometric signature or spatial location changes suddenly) a software alarm can be raised, and a message sent to the parent or carer immediately via the KinderGUARD^TM Management and Control Centre.

A number of products to suit a range of applications will be developed with embedded KinderGUARD^TM technology – these will include jewellery, in-pocket devices, etc.

Ultimately, the intention is to advance the technology to the point where KinderGUARD^TM can be embedded into clothing as 'security you wear ^TM '.
