Background

The fear of losing a child in a crowded or unfamiliar place is one of the greatest anxieties for parents. Traditional solutions, like writing contact details on wristbands or clothing, often fail to provide the Security and immediacy needed in such situations. FOUND ME offers an innovative, tech-driven solution to help parents quickly reunite with their children in emergencies, without compromising privacy or safety.

Problem

In busy environments like theme parks, beaches, airports, or shopping malls, children can wander off or get separated from their families. Challenges faced by parents include:

1. Lack of Identification: Children often don’t carry identification or know how to contact their guardians.
2. Privacy Concerns: Sharing sensitive information (e.g., names or addresses) publicly can put children at risk.
3. Communication Barriers: Language differences and panic can hinder effective communication between the child and those trying to help.
4. Delayed Responses: Without an efficient way to notify parents, the reunion process can take hours or even days.

Solution

FOUND ME’s child safety wristbands and tags are designed to address these challenges. Each identifier features a unique QR code linked to the parent’s secure FOUND ME account. Here’s how it works:

1. Setup: Parents activate the tag or wristband, creating a profile with emergency contact information and optional medical details (e.g., allergies or conditions like autism).
2. In an Emergency: If a child is found, a good Samaritan or authority scans the QR code.
3. Instant Notification: Parents receive real-time notifications via email, SMS, and push alerts, along with the finder’s GPS location.
4. Safe Communication: The finder and parent can communicate via a secure, multilingual chat or even initiate a video call, ensuring the child’s safety and comfort.
