Summer holidays are the longest of the year and are often spent on the beaches of Europe. There are usually a lot of people in these places, and it is not uncommon for children to get lost and wander away from their parents, then having to turn to rescuers or authorities to try to reunite them with their parents. If they’re big enough, they might have a cell phone, but if they’re short or swimming, that’s probably not the case.
To avoid this, an Italian company has designed a bracelet containing parents’ data but also an NFC chip which allows the minor to be located as well as allowing anyone with a cell phone to communicate with the parents
This bracelet does not have a battery for functions requiring any type of connectivity beyond the NFC chip, making it very cheap and durable. It is available in six different colors, and all of them cost 24.90 dollars.
Multiple functions
The essence of this bracelet is that, Thanks to the NFC chip, any adult can scan it to contact the parents of the lost child. This is done via Bluon.ME, the digital platform of the company that created the bracelet. Through text chat, it is possible to inform parents of the child’s whereabouts.
Furthermore, The minor’s location is transmitted to their parents when someone scans the bracelet with their phone, allowing parents to know where it is, as well as the quickest way to reach them. When a minor is located, parents are notified in the form of a notification, SMS or message via Facebook Messenger. The bracelets have the data written in Spanish on one side and in English on the other, to increase the chances that an adult will understand the data.
