US 2026/0064083 A1 · SMARTWATCH FOR DIRECT AND INDIRECT COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PARENT AND CHILD

Abstract

A smartwatch for a child and a smartwatch communication system for facilitating communication between a parent and a child includes photoplethysmography (PPG) and electrodermal activity (EDA) sensors to measure physiological data, and a gyroscopic accelerometer to detect movement. A microprocessor analyzes this data to determine a mood and an activity level of the child. An avatar program and a video game database provide interactive, mood-modifying, and activity-promoting experiences. The smartwatch communication system includes the smartwatch and a parent's smartphone, connected via a near-field communications unit. The method involves measuring physiological and movement data, analyzing it using a measurement database, generating mood and activity messages, and transmitting this information to the parent's smartphone. This integrated approach provides comprehensive monitoring of the well-being of child, facilitates parent-child communication, and actively supports the emotional and physical health of child through engaging and age-appropriate interactions.
