Wandering Solutions
Wandering is a potentially life-threatening and frighteningly common behavior seen
in Alzheimer’s patients. About 60% of all patients with Alzheimer’s will wander at some point during the course of
their disease. Of these, up to 50% will die if they are not found within 24 hours.
Wandering is clearly a dangerous problem for many Alzheimer’s sufferers and those
who take care of them. To address this problem, Mobile Health Technologies has introduced a new device using Global
Positioning System (GPS) technology that may help keep track of Alzheimer’s disease sufferers.
MobileAlert GPS™ uses this advanced technology to pinpoint the
location of lost Alzheimer’s patients on demand. Using its unique GeoFence feature, MobileAlert GPS™ automatically
alerts caretakers by e-mail and/or text message when an Alzheimer’s patient has wandered out of a pre-designated
area.
The advantages of using a cellular GPS locator device over more traditional personal alert
systems is that it can be activated remotely by a caregiver, and that the technology works over a much larger
geographic area.
