Meet myFirst: Your Child’s First Step into Tech
The
safe technology ecosystem for your children has touched down in Malaysia
As technology has
become a necessary part of our daily lives, the need for kid-safe technology is
higher than ever. Now launching in Malaysia, myFirst offers the world’s first
Kids Tech Collection for your children with its devices and the best
alternative to social media for kids, myFirst Circle. The brand’s
smartwatch-shaped device myFirst Fone R1s offers a gateway for children to stay
connected within the safe ecosystem with full parental controls.

The company’s all-in-one watchphone myFirst Fone
R1s combines voice and video calling, messaging, music player, camera, clock,
GPS and fitness tracker. Equipped with heart rate monitoring, the watchphone
also motivates its wearers to collect cute badges while keeping track of their
daily steps. It can also train children with using alarms and reminders by
recording their own or parents’
personalised voice reminders. The personalisation does not end there - the R1s’
watchphone face is customisable by choosing from a selection of animated
wallpapers, selfies, and photos stored in the device!
The R1s was
designed by G-Jay Yong and his daughter, RuFaye Yong - the youngest product
manager ever 8 years old! - as the brand’s latest safe digital gateway for
children. The company recognised the need for kids to engage with technology to
assist in their socio-emotional development, all while ensuring secure
connectivity with their loved ones.
“myFirst was
created with the idea to be the first safe tech experience for a child, in
order to enrich a child’s developmental process with learning experiences
through fun and innovative gadgets. We wanted to rethink the way kids learn and
play, in hopes of creating a community where children can grow up with
technology introduced safely in their lives prior to facing the challenges of
the adult tech world. To amplify this safe experience for children, we have
designed a safe social circle app for myFirst device users called the myFirst
Circle,” said G-Jay Yong, myFirst
Founder.
Dubbed the “World’s first kids social circle”,
myFirst Circle application binds the parents’ phone app to the kid’s R1s
smartwatch and offers an enjoyable user experience. The social circle app
prides itself in being the world’s first safe call, messaging, location, and
social sharing ecosystem for kids to use with their family, besties, and
friends. To ensure the safety of children who use this connectivity feature,
no strangers can access the children through this app, and advertisements are
not present.

In addition to
the R1s smartwatch, myFirst has invented other products including
bone-conduction headphones dubbed myFirst Headphones BC, Wireless, or Lite. The
bone conduction technology allows children to listen to music without blocking
their ear canals and stay alert to their surroundings. While offering safe
options for technology, myFirst also has a range of products that let children
tap into their visual and artistic skills. Those interested in art can draw
with myFirst Sketch, a digital sketchbook that lets them save their drawings
for future viewing while the myFirst 3dPen allows children to bring their
pictures to life through 3d modelling. Children interested in capturing
memories and perspectives can try the myFirst Camera.
As technological
advancements become more prevalent and accelerated by the day, it is vital for
children to be exposed to technology in order to stay caught up on cognitive
learning ability. myFirst offers a variety of options through its products so
that children can simultaneously play and learn with safety and accessibility.
The brand has opened
its Malaysia Official Store at my.myfirst.tech, and parents can also choose to purchase
its products at selected retail outlets [https://my.myfirst.tech/locate-store].
