Mr Najib Hussain began exploring different tracking tools to keep his son with autism safe, as the fear of losing him — even for a moment — was deeply overwhelming. Motivated by this concern, he has spent countless hours testing a wide range of devices and apps such as AirTags, Life360, GPS watches, and more. He even approached several suppliers to loan him their products so he could test and review them firsthand.
This session is designed for caregivers of children with special needs as well as families supporting elderly dependents, including those with dementia. In line with the theme “Always Within Reach,” Najib shares practical, real-life strategies that combine technology and caregiver education to enhance safety and prevent missing incidents.
Beyond learning about devices, this is also a caregiver sharing session, offering space for participants to exchange experiences, practical tips, and encouragement. Caregivers who are not tech-savvy are encouraged to bring their own devices for hands-on guidance.
This session aims to equip caregivers with practical knowledge and simple technologies so that their loved ones can stay safe, connected, and always within reach.
