A tracker can tell you where.
WearTags is designed to tell you what happens next.
GPS trackers are very good at one important job: locating a device.
But a child-safety incident rarely begins and ends with a location. A child may be found by a stranger, separated from a caregiver, unable to explain who they are, or unable to say what happened. The people trying to help need more than coordinates. They need the right identity information, the right emergency context, a safe way to contact the caregiver, and a record of what happened.
That is the gap WearTags is being designed to address.
Trackers locate. WearTags connects the pieces around the child.
We are developing WearTags around five questions. Each one is a link into how that layer is meant to work.
- 01Where is the child?
- 02Who is this child?
- 03How does a finder reach you?
- 04What should they see?
- 05What gets recorded?
A conventional tracker may answer the first question exceptionally well. WearTags is being designed to address the whole chain.
