SmartWrist Edu is an innovative smartwatch specially designed for school students, offering an integrated solution to the key challenges commonly faced in school environments. This product aims to support teachers, students, and parents by combining advanced technologies such as GPS tracking, automated attendance recording, and cashless digital payment functions within one convenient wearable device. The innovation enhances school management efficiency while promoting safety, financial discipline, and responsible technology use among students. The main problems identified include the manual and time-consuming process of recording student attendance, the lack of real-time monitoring that prevents parents and teachers from knowing students’ locations, and the dependence on cash for daily purchases at school canteens. These issues highlight the urgent need for digital transformation that can improve convenience, security, and sustainability within the school system. The objectives of this innovation are to develop an automated attendance system using RFID or QR code scanning to enable real-time monitoring by teachers, to provide a digital payment platform that allows parents to transfer pocket money electronically, and to design a smart mobile-free system that supports essential school activities such as attendance, purchasing, and emergency communication within a safe and controlled environment. In terms of materials and methods, SmartWrist Edu is developed using microcontroller modules, GPS trackers, QR code scanners, and an energy-efficient rechargeable battery system. It is designed to be durable, lightweight, and user-friendly, making it suitable for primary and secondary school students of various age groups. The novelty of SmartWrist Edu lies in its integration of multiple school-related functions such as attendance tracking, GPS monitoring, digital payment, and emergency alert features within a single smartwatch that functions independently without the need for a mobile phone. This combination clearly differentiates it from conventional student smartwatches available in the market. The innovation shows high applicability in schools, especially in urban areas where digital systems are increasingly relevant. It has strong commercial value due to its affordable production cost and potential for large-scale adoption by educational institutions. The social impact includes enhanced student safety, reduced truancy, improved operational efficiency, and promotion of sustainable technology aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. In conclusion, SmartWrist Edu has strong commercialization potential to be widely implemented in the Malaysian education ecosystem, contributing to the development of safer, smarter, and more sustainable digital schools.
