Today, we continue the conversation with founder & CEO of iStaySafe and the TicTocTrack solution for kids.  She is a woman on a mission to help parents feel more secure about their kids and promote safety for the most vulnerable in our communities.Karen Cantwell was like many new mothers preparing for their transition back into the workforce, while anxiously wondering how her first child would brave their first “big school” experience.  This woman however, decided to follow the thread of her safety concerns and not stop until she developed the smallest wearable technology for kids in the world!It apparently did not matter whatsoever that she had zero knowledge about technology!Going on to develop her own bespoke software and app to link to the watches, people across the country can now locate their loved ones from their smartphones.  Most recently, with the acquisition of another company, they have extended into personal safety solutions for aged care and most notably domestic violence.I am looking forward to diving into the life of this female entrepreneur who never lets her ideas sit on the table – not without turning them over, prodding, poking and discovering until she comes up with solutions that transform the community around her.The Goods on Karen:As a mum of two young boys, keeping them safe was a constant challenge and something that was always on Karen’s mind. While she wished she could be with them 24/7 she realised that as they grew and developed into young men they needed to make their own choices around safety. So, in 2012 Karen set out to find tools to help educate her boys and keep them safe by allowing them to stay connected with her in times of need. This quest led her to set up iStaySafe Pty Ltd and develop the TicTocTrack® solution. TicTocTrack® went on to become the worlds’ smallest safety watch for kids and was one of two watches globally that entered the market in 2014. Karen then went on to develop her own bespoke software platform and App’s to link the watches to, allowing parents across the country to locate their loved ones from their smart phone or computer.  Fast forward a number of years and following the recent acquisition of Find-Me Technologies, Karen’s company offers personal safety solutions not only to the child safety market but, lone worker, aged care and domestic violence as well.
