1. A geolocation device adapted for low-profile wearing about a limb of a human, for locating the human within a geographical region, the geolocation device comprising:

  • an elastomeric housing that is sized and adapted for being worn about the limb of the human, the elastomeric housing having a circumferential portion that bounds a first surface and a second surface spaced apart from the first surface to form a waterproof cavity bounded by the circumferential portion, the elastomeric housing having a thickness of 3 mm to 10 mm so as to have a low profile when worn about the limb of the human;

    an elongated substrate that is sized and adapted for being positioned in the cavity of the elastomeric housing, the elongated substrate forming a semi-flexible digital logic circuit board arrangement that comprises at least one rigid circuit board portion; and

    a digital logic circuit connected with the semi-flexible digital logic circuit board arrangement, the digital logic circuit comprising a battery module, a memory, a central processing unit (CPU), a SIM card, a geolocation receiver comprising a GPS, and a communications module receiver, each of the CPU, the geolocation receiver, and the communications module being mounted to at least one rigid circuit board portion, the communications module comprising a radio frequency (RF) transmitter, a cellular transmitter, a WIFI transmitter, and a Bluetooth transmitter, the CPU being configured to receive geolocation data from the geolocation receiver and, based on the geolocation data relative to the geographic region, to select one of the RF transmitter, cellular transmitter, WIFI transmitter, and Bluetooth transmitter to transmit a signal.
