My name is Henrik Hoff, I am Project Leader for Purple Scout where we have
created this product, named Barnkollen.
A lot of our employees are parents with small children, so we realised that this
would be a great product to improve the safety of children in pre-school.
Barnkollen should be utilised in pre-school groups where the children are
engaged in activities outside the regular preschool ground, for
example when they go to the playground, the woods, the park or the zoo.
Barnkollen works as an app in a smartphone that keeps track of the GPS units
that the children are wearing. If a child is walking astray
then the user will be notified by a phone alert which also
will generate a map where the user can see where the child is located.
My name is Lena and I am a pre-school teacher. Barnkollen is very easy to use.
First you start the transmitter on the GPS unit and then you place the GPS-unit onto the vest.
Then you make sure that your phone is on and then the children and I walked to the playground.
Once at the playground we validated that all the GPS units were green, hence everything was OK
When one of the children walked astray the phone alerted us with a red indicator, the
the number of the GPS-unit and it highlighted on the map where the child was. So simple!
My name is Helen and I work as a children’s nurse. I think Barnkollen has
great usage as a complement to the regular child-care.
