GPS monitoring people with dementia

Problem

People suffering from age-related brain changes have to be constantly monitored by medical workers or relatives, which is not always possible. So, they often get lost both in new and familiar places. Searching for these people is a challenge, but the Wialon partner from Sweden, GPSER, tackled it successfully.

Solution

The Wialon-based telematics solution for monitoring people with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease includes:

MiniFinder Pico Tracker + MiniFinder® GO mobile application

MiniFinder Pico is a personal tracker sending the position data, which the patient carries on them.
MiniFinder® GO is the mobile Wialon-based application that shows the location of the patient on the map. You can set geofences there, leaving which the person would trigger certain notifications.

Result

Faster searching

Now the responsible person gets an instant notification if the patient leaves the clinic, home, or any other place they should be in. Their exact location is displayed on the map. Thus, we save human lives.

Beneficial for end-users

The solution saves money for end-users due to the accuracy and stability of this system as they don’t have to pay fines for the false emergency calls (some cases took place in Sweden).
