Having parents with Alzheimer's and Dementia made simple tasks like grocery shopping or going to the mall filled with anxiety. Our dad liked to wander and we constantly had to make sure he was where we could see him. It's incredibly stressful, not knowing if he might wander off and struggle to find his way back. There had to be a simple solution; ensuring that even if he did get lost, we could easily find him and keep him safe.
We had these requirements:
- A device that can be worn
- Simple to use
- Battery lasts at least 7 days
