Arkangel is a child monitoring system installed via a painless implant. It can monitor the child's vision and hearing with a tablet computer, and allows the parent to view live medical data and past audiovisual feeds. A filter can also censor stimuli when they cause stress to the child, such as blood, violent scenes, or an intimidating neighbourhood dog. The Arkangel implant automatically expires when the child turns 18 years old.
