GPS Shoe for People with Alzheimer’s Disease

Aetrex Worldwide Inc. has teamed with GTX Corp. to create the Aetrex Ambulator GPS Shoe, a therapeutic sneaker designed for people with Alzheimer’s disease. The shoe comes with a tiny GPS tracker that alerts a caregiver when the wearer has strayed more than a set distance. It then sends the caregiver a Google map link that plots the wearer’s location. The shoe will be available for $200 at Foot.com, GPSShoe.com and at select assisted living facilities, starting in September. The tracking service will cost $40 to $50 per month.
