The wristband utilizes GPS technology and will send out an alert if the wearer exits a quarantine zone. It is a single-use wristband, meaning if the user removes it, it will send a warning to authorities and a new one has to be used to continue tracking. Besides tracking, the wristband also scans body temperature, detects altitude changes and calorie consumption. (Photo: Ginnovations)
