Using Apps to Prevent Wandering in Seniors with Dementia

Wandering is one of the most terrifying risks associated with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Six in ten people with dementia will wander at least once.

Why Seniors Wander

Wandering often happens because the senior feels a sense of purpose—they might be trying to "go to work" or "find their children." It is a disorienting experience that requires immediate family intervention.

Using GPS to Ensure Safety

If a parent wanders away from home, time is of the essence. While standard smartphones have tracking, a dedicated family monitoring app ensures the senior's exact GPS location is immediately broadcast to the family dashboard during an SOS event, preventing tragedy.
