GPS tracking devices for dementia patients are designed to reduce wandering, which is a common problem among seniors with cognitive disabilities. They also help caregivers locate a lost loved one.
In addition to tracking, many of the newer devices offer alerts when a person leaves the safety of a designated area. This could be especially helpful for families who have to be prepared to take care of a dementia patient at all times.
The Alzheimer Society of Ontario is currently conducting a research project on the effectiveness of GPS technologies in supporting people with dementia. These trackers are available in different forms and are discreet.
One such device is the Safe Link. It is a small, water-resistant, wristwatch-like device worn by a wandering person. It displays the wearer's location on a map, zip code, or Google Maps. A caregiver can check in by dialing a toll-free number.
Another device is the MindMe locator. It can be worn as a bracelet or pendant. When the wearer walks outside of a preset radius, an alarm will alert the Mindme response center.
An optional feature is automatic fall detection. Some of the commercial GPS devices for dementia patients have built-in buttons for caregivers to call emergency services.
Other medical alert devices are available. Bay Alarm Medical offers a GPS medical alert that provides real-time data and caregiver tracking. Dementia Trackers Their system has a SOS button and a companion charging base.
While the benefits of locator devices are apparent, they raise ethical, legal, and privacy issues.
