A Colombian start-up has created a smart backpack that can alert owners when they leave something behind.

The T-Track uses smart tags attached to valuables along with a monitor kept in the bag to alert users when they move out of range of it – sending a notification via an app to remind them they might have forgotten something.

The companion app also enables users to see the last known GPS location of the bag itself, should that go missing.

The bag is currently seeking crowdfunding on Indiegogo and has, at the time of writing, already surpassed its $25,000 funding goal with more than a week of its campaign left.

According to the crowdfunding page, the firm hopes to start shipping the product in November.
