Back to School: Increasing Child Safety with Wearable Emergency Buttons 

As students excitedly enter the 2024-2025 school year, parents are running through their school prep checklists. School supplies, check. School clothes, check. Wellness checks, check. 

Child safety is less of a one-time task and more of a constantly ongoing worry. Will my children get to and return home from school safely? What if something happens while at school, will they know what to do? Is having a mobile phone enough?

One way to enhance your child’s security (and your peace of mind) is through medical alert devices equipped with GPS recognition. Operating via the cellular network, these wearable emergency buttons do more than just track location; they provide a direct line to medical professionals, offering a level of immediacy and specificity that smartphones can’t match. 

All your child has to do is push the button. Never mind if their smartphone didn’t get charged the night before or if they lost it. Or perhaps they might be hesitant to dial 9-1-1 or, worse, unable to. An emergency button is always there and easily accessible. Nothing to remember, just a simple press of a button to access immediate help. 

GPS Tracking: This allows parents and medical professionals to quickly locate the child when the button is pressed in case of an emergency, ensuring that help arrives as soon as possible.

Direct Communication: Unlike smartphones, these devices provide a direct line to medical or law enforcement professionals 24/7 allowing for immediate medical or safety advice or action, which is crucial in emergencies. While smartphones have two-way conversation capabilities, offline devices provide a safer environment for children. Parents can be confident that their kids are protected from online dangers and more engaged with their physical environment.

Durability and Ease of Use: These devices are built to be durable, and easy to operate, accommodating the daily wear and tear of school activities without complicating usage.

Long-Lasting Battery:  The emergency buttons hold a charge lasting days. So if your child forgets to charge it one night it will still work the next day vs. a smart device that needs to be charged frequently. Also, if there is an issue with the battery we will replace it for free.

Emergency buttons are especially useful for children with medical conditions that might require immediate attention. The integrated GPS ensures that, in an emergency, help knows exactly where to find your child without delay. These gadgets are designed to be kid-friendly, durable, and easy to use, making them an ideal companion for your child throughout the school year.
