The Pomo Waffle Helps You Keep an Eye on Your Kids

— June 28, 2017 — Life-Stages
The Pomo Waffle is an example of child-friendly smart technology that's helping parents keep an eye on their children. This smartwatch is designed to give children the agency to enjoy themselves, while offering parents the peace of mind. The watch acts as an alarm clock, waking the children up at an appropriate time, and becoming a part of their personal identity throughout the day. A customizable feature allows children to express their creativity, mix and matching different bands to compliment their outfits.

The primary feature for the parent is the Pomo Waffle's GPS tracking ability, locating your child in real time, anywhere in the world. Parents can program a designated 'safe zone' which outlines where the kids are allowed to go -- parents will be alerted by notification if their kids wonder outside of this area.

3. Wearable Technology - Market potential for companies in the wearable technology industry to offer personalized, customizable smartwatches and bands for kids to match their outfits and express their personal style.
