Why My Family ID is Essential For Your Family’s Safety

”One of the most amazing features is that there’s facial recognition. And there’s also a spot where you put the little kids’ fingerprints. [...] If somebody is taking your kid across the border, [authorities] already have all the information right there on the app that they can see.”

– Karen O’Bren Havourd

”I actually have a father with Alzheimer’s right now. This is the perfect application to store his fingerprints, recent photos, and facial recognition scans, which can then get out to the authorities, stores or places that that have CCTV. We can actually do a search through their systems to help us see if he wandered into a store.”

– Greg Fagan

Using a Facial Recognition App as a Safety Tool

Using a Facial Recognition App as a Safety Tool

October 08, 20242 min read

The thought of a loved one going missing sends a shiver down any caregiver’s spine. Whether it’s a child with autism prone to wandering, a senior with dementia becoming disoriented, or any vulnerable individual under your care, the anxiety is constant. You feel like you’ve taken every precaution, and implemented safety measures, but the worry still lingers.

What if they slip away unnoticed? What if they can’t communicate their identity? In those moments, time matters, and traditional identification methods might not be enough.

My Family ID offers a powerful solution, bridging the gap between your concern and effective action. Our app uses biometric facial scans that can be used with facial recognition technology, putting a cutting-edge identification tool right in your pocket.

Facial Recognition App

What is Facial Recognition Technology?

Facial recognition has been a huge advancement in technology. According to The Security Industry Association, modern facial recognition technology can confidently detect faces with %99.8 accuracy. From unlocking our phones to streamlining airport security, this technology is becoming more and more integrated into our society. But its potential extends far beyond convenience, it can be a big factor in missing persons cases.

How My Family ID Leverages Facial Recognition Technology

My Family ID goes beyond storing a simple photo. Our app utilizes your smartphone’s camera to create a detailed map of facial features. This biometric data captures the unique contours and measurements of a face, providing a level of accuracy far more helpful than a traditional photo. When used with higher levels of law enforcement and security, this data can make a big difference on how long it takes to locate a missing person.

 Assisting Law Enforcement & Security

In the unfortunate event that someone in your care goes missing, you can instantly share their My Family ID profile with authorities. This includes the 3D facial map, allowing law enforcement to leverage their advanced facial recognition systems.

With My Family ID, law enforcement can share the biometric facial data with security personnel at locations like theme parks, airports, and more.

The power of facial recognition extends beyond local searches. If there’s a concern that your loved one might have crossed state lines or even international borders, their My Family ID profile can be shared with relevant agencies, aiding in a coordinated and widespread search effort.

“We’ve seen how facial recognition technology has revolutionized law enforcement’s ability to identify individuals quickly and accurately. We wanted to put that same safety in the hands of caregivers.”- Chuck Still, Creator, My Family ID
