Compact Capsular Trackers

The Ora Kids Tracker is a Convenient Wearable for Highly Active Children

— August 7, 2017 — Tech
Parents of children who love to run, play and explore are beginning to benefit greatly from devices like this kids' tracker. Gone will be the days of spotting children on leashes, when technology can do a much better job and impose none of the physical strain.

Crux Product Design created the Ora 'Smart Urban Safety' device with the intent of improving upon the GPS trackers currently on the market for youngsters. They found that many existing beacons are quite bulky, so they set out to design a compact one that can be strung around the wearer's neck.

Suitable for a broader age range, the kids' tracker continuously delivers location information to parents by relaying information between nearby smartphones. Mom and dad can find their child's whereabouts at all times by means of the Ora's companion app, and be notified of an emergency if the child twists the tracker into distress mode.
Trend Themes
1. Compact GPS Trackers - Developing smaller, more convenient GPS trackers for children presents the opportunity for improved safety and peace of mind for parents.
2. Smart Wearable Devices for Kids - Creating wearable devices specifically designed for children allows for easy and effective tracking, ensuring the safety of highly active youngsters.
3. Location-based Parenting Apps - The development of companion apps that relay location information and emergency notifications to parents introduces a new level of safety and communication between parents and children.
Industry Implications
1. Child Tracking Technology - The child tracking technology industry can disrupt traditional methods of child monitoring by offering compact and innovative wearable devices with advanced features.
2. Smartphone App Development - The smartphone app development industry can capitalize on the demand for companion apps that provide real-time location updates and emergency notifications for child trackers.
3. Children's Wearable Technology - The children's wearable technology industry has the potential to revolutionize safety and monitoring for parents by designing smart devices specifically tailored for kids' needs.
