The ionKids system is a portable child-monitoring system consisting of a PDA-like Base Unit and wireless Wristag.

The base Unit communicates with up to four wristags and relays their location and distance to a parent via the Base Unit's screen.

The system allows parents to monitor their children, alerts them if a child strays too far, and allows the parent to easily and quickly locate a stray child.

The system promotes healthy child development by allowing children to explore their worlds while giving parents the peace of mind about the child's location.
