Kidminder - Prevent Child Deaths

Donation protected
Hello!
I'm Gavin McCabe, the software designer for Kidminder.  Kidminder is an innovative and intuitive system designed to help prevent vehicular heatstroke in children.  One child every nine days dies due to being left in a hot vehicle, that's too many!  

"Hello! I'm Brian Fox, the hardware designer for Kidminder! I'm always working hard to come up with new sensors and new, innovative circuits. Thank you to all who donate to help stop deaths due to vehicular heatstroke!"

"Hey, I'm Noah Fields. I work with research and development at Kidminder! I work hard with Brian and Gavin to get everything working together in an easy to use system. Thank you to everybody who supports our project. Funding the next prototypes helps push our project further towards a marketable product."

Kidminder uses an array of sensors, including infrared, break-beam, temperature, and proximity sensors to properly notify you if you've forgotten a child in your vehicle.  Installation is easy, you put the main system in the back of a child's car seat, and you install the two break-beam sensors on either side of the car seat to sense when a child is present.  Connect your app to our system using a system ID, and if you place a child in their car seat and walk away with your smartphone, even when the app is running in the background, you will receive a notification, and more notification settings in the future, including emergency contacts and emergency services.  

Kidminder is in the early prototyping phase, funds are needed to continue the development of the product and bring the product to market.  A provisional patent is currently held, but funds are also needed to purchase a full utility patent.  Development is currently at a halt until funds are raised, so the Kidminder team needs your help!

Every summer you see news stories on how children are being forgotten in vehicles and they get heatstroke which ultimately leads to death.  It's a sad reality, and there are things we can do to help prevent this.  

Thank you to all who support our project.  Kidminder is the future of vehicular child safety, and you can help push it along today!
