July 23, 2021
iKinnect is a shared mobile app for teens and their parents. It helps parents organize and communicate their expectations for the teen, and supports teens in meeting those expectations throughout the day.
Using iKinnect, parents can: locate their teen, receive updates throughout the day about whether their teen is doing what they need to be doing, and automatically reward their teen for positive behaviors.
