Many wearables record your movements but one firm has developed a range designed to help you track other people . These include bands that keep tabs on your children , your elderly relatives and your pets . Each device is controlled via an app where a parent , concerned relative or pet owner can monitor and track its wearer 's every move . A Chinese firm called Haier has developed a range of wearables that help you track other people . Senior bands with a leather strap have GPS technology built in so relatives can keep an eye on elderly people . The range was unveiled by Chinese tech giant Haier at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona . Its child and senior bands have GPS technology built-in but while the former is bright and colourful , the latter has a more classic look with a leather strap . Both are waterproof and are fitted with proximity sensors that feed location to an app where users can monitor the wearable ’ s movements on a map . Colourful wearables for children also track their location . They are fitted with proximity sensors that feed a child 's location to an app so that parents can see their location on a map . Phone maker Doro has launched a social networking tool for seniors called Connect and Care . It connects elderly people with relatives and carers and the service can be used to call for help and assistance in an emergency . Alternatively , the firm said it can also provide help with basic everyday household tasks such as closing a window . The service is optional and comes with Doro phones , and there is an Android and iOS app for relatives to keep an eye on the user and monitor their movement and communication . It gives alerts to the family if irregularities are detected – for example loss of movement . The app will also remind them to call their relative regularly . Concerned parents and relatives can also use the app to set up safe zones , meaning if a child or elderly relative leaves a dedicated zone , the app will send them an alert . The app also stores a log of the wearable ’ s GPS history . Although many apps and bands track people in a similar way , Haier claims its devices differ because the microphone on each doubles up as a speaker . Similar to how a baby monitor works , the user can listen to ambient noises around the device to determine their location if there is a problem , for example . Users of the app can also talk to the wearer through the band . And for pet owners , Haier has also developed a smart collar that works in a similar way but for cats and dogs . In the future Haier said it plans to launch an SOS service that can be accessed directly from the band in the case of emergency . The company didn ’ t announce prices or availability for the devices . Haier has also developed a smart collar for dogs . The firm claims its devices differ from others on the market already because the microphone on each doubles up as a speaker . The Scout5000 ( pictured ) - a smartphone for dogs - can monitor a dog 's health , track their location and even allows owners to speak to their dogs remotely . Doting pet owners will soon be able to get a dog ’ s-eye-view of the world following the launch of a 'smart collar ' for animals . The Scout5000 - effectively a smartphone for dogs - can monitor a canine 's health , track its location and even allows owners to speak to their dog remotely . The device can also stream videos showing what pets are up to , using a state-of-the-art built-in camera . The gadget , created by Motorola and video streaming developer Hubble , uses 3G to send alerts to the owner 's smartphone , while they are away from their pets . The downside is that the dog will need a data package for the collar to work , although it does come with ones year 's 3G service as part of the £131 ( $ 199 ) price tag .
The app was unveiled by developers at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona . It includes bands that keep tabs on pets , elderly relatives and pets . Wearables are controlled via an interface where a user can track its every move . The Chinese firm 's child and senior bands have proprietary technology built - in . A pet version has the same sensors built into a collar to prevent stray dogs . All are waterproof and fitted with sensors that add location to the app . Prices and release dates have not yet been announced .
