What we call wearables are becoming the next frontier of technology exploitation. In this case I present a project that is still in Indiegogo but that it has good intentions and better prospects if it is implanted in the common places like shopping malls, park and garden areas, etc.
The device is a bracelet weighing 14 grams and what is in 9 colors different, its function is to be a beacon that exposes the location of our little ones for cases of loss of infants.
Unlike beacons that are being designed for commercial purposes, this beacon it only has one function, issue a location signal until the battery runs out, which is estimated to be takes a year.
Lineable defines itself as a «Portable tracking beacon to keep kids from getting lost, and for as little as $ 5«. The current competition for this device is much more expensive, but they do not depend on the interaction of a device network that have the application installed and also reduces costs by dispensing with buttons, screens, etc.

Lineable uses Bluetooth 4.0 to connect with smartphones. All bracelet does not stop emitting signals and pairs with any device that has the Lineable app installed. This means that if we are in a typical family area we can create a trust space between parents, just by installing this application.
If your child gets lost, you give the signal to alarm and the app users will get the notification or with a warning if the marked beacon comes into range, so we can notify the location of the lost infant.
The only thing you need to keep in mind is it worries me of this project are two things; the need for a community for locating a lost child and intentions from which the application is installed. Anyway, it is worth following this gadget that is already prepared for 6 iPhone.
