BluElephant app for iPhone and iPad

Note: This app requires use of an Estimote Beacon which can be found at http://bluelephantapps.com

BluElephant offers one of the simplest solutions to help you remember to check that your child has not been left in their car seat when you leave your vehicle. BluElephant detects when you leave your vehicle and sends a simple notification to your iPhone to remind you to check that your child has not been left in their car seat.

BluElephant works in conjunction with an Estimote Beacon device. The Estimote Beacon is either attached to a child’s car seat or placed inside a vehicle. BluElephant detects when your iPhone is within range of the Estimote Beacon. When BluElephant detects you have left the vicinity of the Estimote, you will receive a notification on your iPhone reminding you to make sure that your child has not been left in their car seat.

BluElephant works in the background, so there is no need to keep the app open for it to work. Since the Estimote Beacon uses very little power, there is no need to remember to replace batteries frequently. BluElephant requires no special modifications to your vehicle and does not require you to carry a separate device.

Using BluElephant could not be simpler! Just follow these steps:

1. Register your Estimote with the app

2. Give your Estimote a name (e.g., Max’s car seat or Mom’s car).

3. Place the Estimote either on your child’s car seat or somewhere in the vehicle.

Thats it! The app will run in the background and send you a gentle reminder every time you leave your vehicle to check that your child was not left in the vehicle.
