Early Detection Solutions
For Child Abuse

Welcome to i-Guardian

We are a Non-Profit Organization focused on providing technology solutions to enhance and innovate child safety. Our goal is to develop a transparent network of systems designed to digitally secure and notify those responsible for the protection and guardianship of children.

Together we proudly introduce i-Guardian.

Our Mission

We are committed to using our extensive knowledge and experience in the Life Sciences and Technology Industries to provide innovative solutions that will potentially assist in preventing child abuse cases. We are committed to deploying this technology, which supports secure and transparent monitoring from a single enterprise platform. Our mission is to increase accessibility to data pertaining to child abuse cases; which will advance relevant hospitals and agencies in providing a greater level of patient care.

The Problem

700,000 children in the USA experience abuse

It is a tragic fact that each year almost 700,000 children in the USA experience abuse, though some agencies put that number at three million. And when you extend this to the rest of the world it rises to the horrific figure of around one billion. That’s ONE BILLION victims of child abuse every year. Abused children are missing out on the care and support they need and deserve, just because we lack an integrated system to securely track and monitor the children once they leave the hospital.

Search Hub for Innocents and Endangered Lives Data

Search Hub for Innocents and Endangered Lives Data is an integrated monitoring system that allows the data to be accessed across entities, coupled with a tracking system to allow the relevant agency to deploy the necessary steps to help expedite early identification and intervention. SHIELD is a cloud-based platform which provides a seamless integration between hospitals, law enforcement and other government systems. Our platform is developed using Distributed Ledger Technology and will provide secure and direct access to patient data to ensure that the correct agencies have the information in a timely manner and will potentially assist in preventing future cases.

Innovating Early Detection in Child Abuse with SHIELD

Agencies We Need to Integrate

Many agencies are involved in preventing child abuse, however, there is a lack of digital integration

Healthcare Centers

There are hundreds of healthcare centers across the nation that are not integrated with hospitals.

Clinics

As more clinics open, their network is restricted to specific entities.

Government Agencies

Such as CPS, DFCS, DSS and others, depending upon the specific city and state.

Hospitals

There are over 6,000 hospitals in the country that need a better system for collaboration.

Law Enforcement Agencies

Approximately 18,000 different local, federal, city, or state departments.

Social Advocacy Groups

Many groups have limited technology solutions making communication a challenge.

Who We Are?

We Are A Team Of Medical, Technical, And Government Professionals

We are a team of medical, technical, and government professionals who are dedicated to developing solutions to integrate healthcare systems to increase prevention in child abuse cases. We firmly believe that increased accessibility to data pertaining to child abuse cases will improve communications and allow the relevant hospitals and agencies to provide a greater level of care and support. Our platform will provide secure and direct access to patient data to ensure a seamless integration between hospitals, law enforcement and other government systems. The challenge is in the way data is stored and handled. Vital information about abused children and their families can be effectively ‘siloed’, making it virtually inaccessible. When you consider how many agencies are involved, it highlights the scale of the problem.

Testimonials

Innovation is a benchstone of modern medicine. Making improvements of how we care for patients is part of our calling as healthcare providers. Almost daily, we hear of amazing new medical breakthroughs in almost every field of medicine. Unfortunately, this pace of innovation has not reached the field of child abuse and because of this patients, families, and the healthcare system caring for them continue to pay a monumental cost.

George Hsu MDPediatric Emergency Medicine Physician

Child abuse is the great unspoken burden in modern medicine. Abuse patients are cared for in every setting from the largest tertiary care academic care setting to the smallest most isolated practice setting. Child Abuse and its effects on victims, families, healthcare providers, and the systems caring for these patients is untold and only increasing everyday.

Richard Schwartz MDEmergency Medicine Physician

Our generation is one of social change and justice. Transparency, accountability and interconnectability is something that is increasing a benchmark of the modern health care system. Abuse victims however, represent those who truly are without a voice, they deserve a system which allows for them to have a chance in a setting where they have none.

Kevin Allen MDMedical Director Child Advocacy Center

3.5 million cases for child protective services.

1 in 7 children experienced abuse.

5 children per day die due to abuse.

20% to 30% of child abuse cases are missed by hospitals.

Why We Need Your Help…

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced families to spend more time at home, resulting in a spike in abuse cases. The sense of urgency is clear - something must be done. We are committed to doing our part by introducing this technology which will allow for the updating, monitoring, tracking, and notifying of cases, all from one platform. But we can't do it alone! We will be relying on help in the form of volunteers and donations. Our children, all children, deserve every opportunity and the best care when they need it. Let's meet that need, together.
