# Collaborative Child-Tracking Devices (UPDATE) The 'Guardian' is a Secure Way to Find Lost Children By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2013-11-12 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/find-lost-children References: [indiegogo](http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/beluvv-s-guardian-let-s-build-the-world-s-strongest-safety-network-for-children) & [beluvv](http://www.beluvv.com/shop.html) BeLuvv’s Guardian is an incredible way to find lost children that comes in the form of a small disk that can be attached to garments like a button, or slipped into a wristwatch-like form. Parents can track the location of children through the Guardian app, but what makes this [child-locating device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinwheel-watch) truly unique is that caretakers can also expand the network to a number of trusted people to keep eyes on the whereabouts of a child and more importantly, find a child quickly in case of an emergency. BeLuvv has recently launched a crowd-funding project on [Indiegogo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brainprotecting-wearable-device). For every two units sold, one will be donated to those in need. The aim of the ‘Give One love’ project is to eventually donate 8 million devices, since this is the number of children that go missing globally year-round. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Collaborative Child-tracking Devices:** The 'Guardian' device facilitates trusted networks of caretakers to ensure quick emergency response and recovery times for lost children. - **Crowdfunding for Social Impact:** BeLuvv's 'Give One Love' campaign showcases the profitable revenue streams of social responsibility by providing customers with the opportunity to donate to those in need. - **Sustainable Business Models:** This innovative business model can be a catalyst for companies to collaborate with charities and non-profits to address social issues while generating sustainable revenue streams. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Technology:** The 'Guardian' device relies heavily on advanced location-tracking technology. - **Non-profit:** The 'Give One Love' campaign effectively leverages crowdfunding for social impact, encouraging mass donations that can be allocated to non-profit organizations. - **Retail:** Retail companies can expand options for socially-responsible products by seeking partnerships with nonprofits and charities to address pressing social issues. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Family Safety Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/family-safety-app.md) - [Missing Child App Alerts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Findmykids-App.md) - [Senior-Targeted Wearable Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifeline-canada.md) - [Location-Tracking Safety Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit-protect-gps-tracker.md) - [Two-Way Kids Messaging Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bot-talk.md) - [Child-Friendly Safety Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gizmo-watch-3-adventure.md) - [Kid-Inspired Safety Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartwatch-phone-for-kids.md) - [Discreet Tracking Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/find-my-skechers.md) - [Kid-Friendly Digital Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/littlebird-marlon.md)
