Parent–Child Safety & Monitoring App

Smartphones are widely used by children for educa- tion and entertainment, but unmonitored usage creates safety and well-being concerns such as excessive screen time, harmful content exposure, and lack of supervision. This paper presents a Parent– Child Safety and Monitoring system that combines Android’s native monitoring features with IoT-enabled smartwatch support. The Android application provides app blocking, web filtering, live location tracking, daily screen-time control, and logbook reports of child activity. IoT integration is focused on health sensor monitoring (e.g., heart rate, steps) and an SOS emergency button for quick alerts. The proposed framework emphasizes usability, consent-first onboarding, and secure data handling while addressing challenges such as battery drain, connectivity loss, and privacy compliance.
