A new technology is being developed to help those with Alzheimer’s disease, who are at risk for wandering. GTX corp is working on GPS shoes that would track the exact location of a loved one whose cognitive impairments make it likely that they would become confused or get lost if they were out and about on their own.
What a brilliant idea! As someone who knows all too well the experience of having a much loved grandmother wander off in a public area, this product can’t come out soon enough.
Wow! I haven’t heard of this. I can see how this could be beneficial. I know so many of my neighbors who have wandered off in the night.
