OREM, Utah, Feb. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In an age where digital technology permeates every aspect of children's lives, Troomi, a leader in kid-friendly, smart wireless solutions, proudly announces the Digital Safety Alliance and a collaboration with Nicklaus Children's Hospital, one of the nation's premier pediatric healthcare institutions. In cooperation with the Digital Safety Alliance, Nicklaus Children's Hospital last week announced a public service campaign called Safe+Sound, designed to increase awareness and provide resources for parents concerned about their kids' digital wellness.

Under the umbrella of Nicklaus Children's Hospital and the non-profit Digital Health Institute for Transformation (DHIT), the Digital Safety Alliance will serve as a think-tank comprised of parents, educators, healthcare providers, hospital administrators, national corporate partners, policymakers, and law enforcement officials to raise awareness, share best practices, and create a safer digital environment for kids.

"We're honored to welcome Troomi to The Digital Safety Alliance as a founding member," said Leyan Phillips, co-founder of DHIT. "Troomi is completely aligned with our mission to support parents and create safer digital experiences for our children."

"As a founding member of the Digital Safety Alliance, we are thrilled to join forces with Nicklaus Children's Hospital, an institution that shares our passion for the well-being of children," said Bill Brady, CEO of Troomi Wireless. "This collaboration allows us to combine our technological expertise with their outstanding pediatric care knowledge to foster a safer digital environment for kids. It will provide amazing benefits to families navigating the digital world."

In regard to the Safe+Sound campaign, Dr. Marisa Azaret, Director of the Department of Clinical Psychology at Nicklaus Children's Hospital said, "A healthy adjustment to the changes brought by the digital era is crucial for personal and family growth and resilience. Staying informed, building strong connections with our children and always seeking opportunities for learning and growth are key factors."

Recent studies show that 72 percent of teenagers believe that social media has a negative effect on their emotional and mental health, and 46 percent of teens have reported being cyber-bullied. In response to this pressing need, Troomi Wireless, the Digital Safety Alliance and Nicklaus Children's Hospital are committed to creating resources and programs that educate families on safe internet practices, balanced screen time, and the healthy use of technology.
