Alzheimer's & Dementia

New Technology. New Hope.

The statistics are staggering. An estimated 24 million people are currently living with some form of dementia.

One of the most common forms of dementia is Alzheimer’s, which impairs memory and the ability to learn, communicate and carry out daily activities. Today Alzheimer’s affects the lives of nearly
5.3 million Americans, with this number expected to triple by 2050.

One of the most challenging behaviors resulting from both dementia and Alzheimer’s is wandering. About 60 percent of these individuals wander out of their home or care facility, or get lost driving, shopping or going for a walk. The most sobering fact is that if they are not found within 24 hours, up to 50 percent could suffer from serious injury or death, making this disease so critical to the field of search and rescue.

TripTrak’s dual technology (GPS and A-GPS) can help protect these individuals and aid caregivers with the knowledge of knowing where those under their care are at all times. Should they wander or get lost, TripTrak can help find them in minutes no matter if they are indoors or out.
