The invention relates to a system in the form of an armband allowing the family of a pilgrim to remotely track the pilgrim. The system is equipped with GPS, GSM, an accelerometer, an LDR, and a microcontroller. Said microcontroller implements a method for capturing data relating to the pilgrim and sending said data to a central server which processes the data and renders it accessible via a web interface in a secure manner to the members of the pilgrim's family. The armband can also be equipped with special sensors according to the state of health of the pilgrim, such as a pulse sensor or a blood glucose level sensor.
