Indian Navy Launches AI-Powered 'Suraksha Kavach' Pendants for Vulnerable Groups
Imagine a special necklace or bracelet that has a secret code on it.
The Indian Navy is giving these to kids who need extra help and to older people in their families.
This code is like a tiny computer chip that can help people find them if they get lost.
It holds important information, like their name and if they need special medicine.
If someone finds a lost person with the pendant, they can scan the code, and it helps reunite them with their family quickly.
It's like a safety shield using smart technology to keep vulnerable people safe and sound.
Indian Navy introduces AI-powered 'Suraksha Kavach' pendants for specially-abled children and seniors.
The initiative, part of Project Chetna, uses QR code technology to help locate missing individuals.
The pendants store essential identification and medical details for quick access in emergencies.
The program is a collaboration between the Navy Welfare and Wellness Association (NWWA) and Ridlan AI Foundation.
It aims to enhance the safety, independence, and dignity of vulnerable members of the naval community.
