This year's winning invention of the UAE James Dyson Award is the Shield device – a smart, wearable system that detects when a child is being physically or emotional abused, and automatically alerts their guardians.
Shield is made up of three main elements: a smartwatch, galvanic skin response (GSR) sensors, and software.
The Shield system sounds an alarm while simultaneously capturing an image of the assaulter.
The Shield app automatically sends an image along with the GPS location of the child to the mobile device of the guardians.
