Internet of Things-based Wristband Tracking and Monitoring System for People with Special Needs

Abstract

The rising crime rate and increasing incidents of missing persons, particularly those with special needs, have become a major concern in today's world. This is especially challenging for parents who have to work to provide for their families and are unable to stay by their children's side constantly. To address this issue, a proposed method has been developed that has the potential to reduce the number of missing persons with special needs. The proposed method involves a GPS-based tracking device that can be worn as a bracelet by individuals with special needs. This device allows parents to keep track of their children's exact location and movements in real-time, thus reducing the risk of them going missing. The device's GPS technology enables parents to receive accurate location updates, making it easier to locate their child in the event of an emergency or if they are lost. In addition to tracking, the device also features theft detection capabilities. This means that if the bracelet is stolen or removed, an alert will be sent to the parents' phone, notifying them of the situation. This feature enhances the security of the individual with special needs, preventing the likelihood of theft or loss of the device. The device is designed to be discreet and comfortable to wear, without interfering with the daily activities of the individual with special needs. The device's battery life is long-lasting, ensuring that it can be used for an extended period without the need for frequent charging. Overall, the proposed method offers a promising solution to reduce the number of missing persons with special needs and enhance their safety and security. By providing parents with the ability to monitor their children's location in real-time, the device can help prevent unfortunate incidents from happening, giving parents peace of mind while their children are away from home.
