Do you want your child to have free rein to wander in nature or explore the town? Are you worried about your child getting lost, or injured, or worse? Have you heard horror stories about CPS?
Introducing Lifelink™, the undisputed best-in-class FRC wearable safety link for independent children. Give your child the gift of secure autonomy today. Device FREE with subscription. Features include:
Options for necklace, bracelet, pocket, glasses, or anklet wearables. (Check out our multi-wearable packages for savings!)
Connectivity and real-time location tracking ANYWHERE through our worldwide affiliate system.
Very difficult to remove without the passcode or remote parental release—criminals will stay away—LockPickingLawyer approved! Hardwired tamper alerts and location updates sent straight to you immediately so you know if anyone is trying to take away your child's protection.
Patented custom bioconformation form factor—Lifelink™ will sit flush with your child's skin, and will NOT get snagged! (Smart breakaway features for extraordinary circumstances optional.)
Child Protective Services CANNOT investigate you solely for having an unattended child over the age of 5 in public areas if they are wearing a Lifelink™! New FRC probable-cause laws currently in effect in these states: CA, IL, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA. Know your rights! More states coming soon.
Neuromorphic chip with hardwired low-power super-distilled LLM, activated by voice or unusual noises, checks if your child might be in a dangerous situation (including asking your child for assurance) and sends telemetry to our command center, where a full-power LLM ensemble and big data predictive models will alert you if your child might be at elevated risk (all computations homomorphically encrypted for your complete security!).
NEW: Police coordination. In participating jurisdictions, police are trained to allow children to roam freely in safe public areas unattended if they are wearing a Lifelink™, and many stations will have a hotline specifically for Lifelink™ S.O.S. signals and can directly receive location information. Currently available in these cities, with more to come: Berkeley, CA; San Diego, CA; Denver, CO; Boston, MA; Austin, TX; and Seattle, WA.
All vitals tracked! (Pulse, blood oxygen, temperature, hydration) You'll get immediate alerts about any dangerous levels.
Integrated submersion detector, compass, clock, thermometer, barometer, air quality sensor (CO₂, CO, and particulates), and dual silicon diode / micro Geiger–Müller tube nuclear radiation sensors.
All data fully end-to-end encrypted. ONLY YOU HAVE ACCESS! Check our website for canaries.
Simple, easy S.O.S. button for your child to call for urgent help if need be.
Parents can push an alert sound or "come back home" call.
Two-way audio calling for emergency check-ins.
Lean5-verified firmware—rest assured, your child's Lifelink™ will never freeze or crash! (Locator beacons also functional with the hardwired backup system.)
3-day power supply, using breakthrough Lithium-Oxygen BREATHABLE battery for ultra-efficient energy density, plus small backup standard anaerobic battery.
Automatic solar, motion, and thermal recharging, plus active-fidget recharging.
