The phone is worn around each student’s wrist, resembling a wristwatch, and boasts four buttons which be linked to connect to a parent or guardian. Children can also use the phones to raise the alarm by pressing an SOS button and the phones are able to determine if the children are close to danger, such as rivers, building sites and highways.
