The Objective

The OnceSafe app works as a tool that keeps all family members' information in one single place and helps a parent act swiftly if their child ever goes missing.

The app features a child ID card functionality that stores the child's information, a missing person report questionnaire that allows for quick filing of a missing child report and forward to local law enforcement for quicker Amber alerts, and a missing child poster generation feature.

Key Features

  • Child ID Card: Keeps all the information and photos of the family members up to date.
  • Safety Section: Provides tools to learn more about what to do if your child is missing.
  • Missing Person Report: Serves as a questionnaire, a seamless flow to file a missing child report and forward to the local law enforcement.
  • Missing child poster generator: Creates a downloadable missing child poster in jpeg format to quickly share on social media and other channels.
  • Handoff functionality: Allows for easy transfer of temporary custody of a child to a specified caregiver (i.e. babysitter, teacher on a field trip, among others).

The Results

After several iterations with prototyping we had our hand off to the dev team for them to build the app. These were our main results:

  • Launched a testing app for both iOS and Android platforms.
  • Tested the app with a group of beta testers, gathered feedback and adjusted accordingly.
  • Successfully handed off to a marketing agency in order to pursue commercial efforts such as a marketing website, introduction video, and other marketing collateral.
