SmiliBuddy 2.0 is an innovative wearable smart bracelet specifically designed for students from primary school to university. This upgraded version integrates smart biosensor technology, real-time location tracking, and a seamless mobile application (SmiliBuddy Care) to monitor students’ physical health, emotional well-being, and safety within a unified intelligent system. The device continuously analyses biometric indicators such as heart rate variability, stress patterns, and sleep quality to provide a more accurate picture of students’ overall wellness. The key uniqueness of SmiliBuddy 2.0 lies in its ability to deliver automatic alerts to parents and educational institutions when sudden emotional changes, excessive academic stress, or potential safety risks, including emergencies, through the SOS Alert function are detected. These alerts support early intervention, enabling educators and guardians to feel confident and capable of providing timely guidance or assistance before issues escalate. Additionally, SmiliBuddy 2.0 promotes healthier lifestyle habits by offering personalised recommendations, daily wellness reminders, and progress tracking features that encourage students to develop emotional resilience and self-management skills. Its data dashboard allows schools to identify emerging behavioural trends, helping them design targeted well-being programmes and enhance campus safety measures. Overall, this technological ecosystem positions SmiliBuddy 2.0 as a holistic student monitoring solution that supports Malaysia’s Smart & Safe Education agenda. It also aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 3 and SDG 4), which emphasise good health and quality education, ultimately contributing to a more supportive, responsive, and future-ready learning environment.
