KidsGuardian

The Project

KidsGuardian is a mobile application that monitors children at home alone and sends alerts to parents when their childrens are in potential risks of danger. This app uses object detection and machine learning to detect if a child is near the window or the door. The hardware part of this project uses a Raspberry Pi with a Pi camera. The frontend of the app was developed using Flutterflow, connected to Firebase for database. The system is programmed using the YOLOv8 deep learning model, achieving high accuracy in object detection. I was inspired to create this project because I read news about children falling from the window when they are home alone. My cousin, who is a busy working woman and has a 4-year-old, has also expressed her concerns about her child’s safety when she is not at home. I wanted to help parents similar to her.
