Child Monitor

ionkids.jpg
ionKids has developed a child monitoring system that consists of two components, a tamper-proof bracelet worn by the child, and a base unit that allows a parent to monitor the child's location.

The cool looking bracelet, (called a Wristag) is worn by the child,and is both water and tamper resistant and will need a special key to be taken off of the child’s wrist. It also has sensors that can detect the child’s skin and can perceive whether the gap between the skin and the device is getting larger, in which case it will set off an alarm, both on the wristag and on the base unit. The base unit, on the other hand, is kept by the parent, who can monitor up to four children simultaneously.

Every few seconds, ionTechnology™ simultaneously changes the transmission frequency, Wristag ID and corresponding information in the Base Unit, significantly reducing the chances that a third party can scan or monitor a child's Wristag.
