Problem

Digital wellness for families requires instant, reliable control across two different mobile operating systems without draining devices or compromising family privacy.

Solution

A dual-app ecosystem — a Parent App and a Child Companion App — engineered for cross-platform synchronization, real-time device restriction, device governance and low-latency emergency streaming.

Business impact

A capability case study in OS-aware engineering: sub-second command delivery, hybrid location accuracy and secure-by-design architecture.

Key features

App View & Monitoring

Dynamic blacklisting to hide or block applications instantly, with automatic category filtering for newly installed applications. Built on Android Accessibility Services and iOS FamilyControls / Screen Time API.

Geo-Fencing & Safety Zones

Custom safety boundaries with real-time push alerts and a hybrid location model balancing accuracy and battery usage, using Google Play Services and CoreLocation Region Monitoring.

App Time Management

Precise time-quota allocations synchronized through a secure cloud database, with daily limits and scheduled bedtimes, delivered over high-priority MQTT for sub-second command delivery.

Emergency Screen Sharing

One-tap emergency broadcast with on-demand streaming and low-latency video on weak connections, using WebRTC peer-to-peer video and WebSocket signaling.
