We face a looming global epidemic of Alzheimer’s disease as the world’s population ages. It will not be long before the disease renders one in every eighty-five adults with dementia… with a higher percentage likely in emerging nations owing to a lower standard of living.
Presently there is no cure or prevention for the disease. The deterioration of the victim however, is progressive requiring constant monitoring by caregivers, usually family members. At times the victims will become dissociative and wander becoming lost. Locating them quickly can mean the
difference between life and death as many succumb to exposure, accidents and criminal activity. The GPS Smart Shoe empowers the caregiver with real-time location technology viewable on smartphones and computers offering true peace of mind.
