Child Safety and Activity Monitoring System Using IoT

Child safety and tracking are pressing concerns that garner widespread attention due to the escalating incidence of crimes against children. In response to this, an innovative Internet of Things (IoT) device has been developed to ensure the safety and monitoring of children. This monitoring system aids parents in tracking and overseeing their children's activities, catering to those who seek to maintain constant awareness of their child's whereabouts. It utilizes GPS and telephony services within an Android application to accurately pinpoint the child's location, allowing parents to discreetly monitor messages and track their child without their knowledge. Notably, the application operates discreetly in the background of the child's phone, even after rebooting. The system, coded in embedded C, interfaces with various sensors including temperature, heartbeat, and tactile sensors, as well as GPS, GSM, and a digital camera. Its standout feature lies in its automated module system, which promptly notifies parents or caregivers via real-time SMS alerts. This proactive approach ensures swift action during emergency situations, emphasizing the importance of continuous monitoring. Additionally, factors such as the child's tactile sensations, body temperature, and heart rate are considered, with parametric analysis facilitating visualization of the obtained results.
