Abstract

The increasing adoption of health technologies, especially the Internet of Things (IoT), for monitoring children's independent mobility is a growing trend. Despite this, concerns from both children and parents persist, particularly regarding the tracking of health vitals and the child's whereabouts. The integration of these technologies introduces a unique challenge, considering the diverse landscape of available options for monitoring and tracking a child's location. In this context, this review aims to provide an up-to-date analysis of emerging concerns and novel technologies related to vital signs and location tracking, exploring the implications of ubiquitous computing in the aspect of child health monitoring. By addressing these concerns, the research seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the practical considerations and potential solutions in the adoption of health technologies for monitoring and tracking children's well-being.
