Irish start-up launches child protection platform for mobile phones [siliconrepublic.com]
- Published: 30 September 2011
Irish technology firm mm Technologies has launched a mobile phone protection application system called ‘MobileMinder’.
The MobileMinder breakthrough technology allows parents to see who their children are connected to, know where they are at all times, receive alerts when they arrive somewhere safely, be alerted to signs of cyber bullying, prevent sexting and view internet sites visited by their children. It also has the unique feature called 'I'm Lost' which, when activated, sends a map and location of the child to parents or an older brother/sister.
"MobileMinder offers parents great peace of mind when it comes to the safety of their children and their use of mobile phones. In my day, bullying was only done face to face but now, with most children carrying mobiles, a bully can harass their victim whenever they choose and we want to put a stop to this," stated Don Corbett, co-founder and CEO of mm Technologies, who is also an alum of DCU Business School.
