GPS Shoes Help Keep Track Of Alzheimer’s Patients
Related: Alzheimer’s, GPS, Patients, Shoes
If you have ever had an older family member who has Alzheimers, then you know how difficult it can be just to keep tabs on them. It’s sort of like having a small child. They tend to live in their own world and can wander off the instant you divert your attention. Sometimes you even need the help of local police to find them.
Rather than having to keep searching for lost Alzheimer’s patients, Aetrex Worldwide and GTS Corp have teamed up to put GPS transmitters inside of shoes. A simple and brilliant solution. A wristband might be even better as some won’t bother to put on their shoes.
The devices are accurate to within 30 feet, and safety zones can be set, so as soon as a patient leaves the zone they can easily be found. It will save caregivers a lot of headaches that’s for sure. It will also save institutions a lot of time and money.
