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.
