Littlebird is a decision support device not a medical device. Littlebird falls under the FDA compliance policy for low-risk products that promote a healthy lifestyle (General Wellness guidance).
Littlebird uses patented safety and location-tracking features to help parents identify which caregiver is supervising their child and when hand-offs occur. Littlebird utilizes the LTE-M cellular network to communicate GPS information. LTE-M is a new technology for low-power, long distances communications. LTE-M signal reaches about 30% farther than 3G/4G/5G/LTE networks.
We intentionally designed Littlebird to seamlessly blend into your child’s day and not distract them from being fully present in their childhood. To that end, Littlebird is screen-free and does not facilitate 2-way communication.
The Littlebird device connects independently of a smart phone and does not require you to be in proximity to connect. However, your child’s Littlebird device pairs with your phone’s Littlebird parent app to see your child’s location and health insights.
