The 'Dristee' wearable has been created with kids, the elderly and the special needs community in mind to provide loved ones a way to keep an eye on those close to them. The device works by being worn by the person and instantly going to work to provide GPS tracking capabilities, which will allow geofences to be created. This means caregivers will be alerted if the person wearing the device moves beyond a set area to ensure they can locate them if they are in danger or simply going out when they shouldn't.
The 'Dristee' wearable can also be used as an emergency piece of equipment for the wearer to alert their family and loved ones if they're in danger or need help.
