How does a dementia tracker work?
Many older people enjoy the freedom provided by wearing a personal alarm. It helps to know that help is just a button click away.
But for those suffering from Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, there are also a host of features that benefit not just the patient, but that also provide total peace of mind for their family too.
A GPS tracker for dementia patients is a simple way to be able to locate the user, should they wander or get lost. A personal alarm for people with dementia allows the person using the device to call for help at the touch of a button, to let their loved ones know where they are if they need help. They also allow family members to request the location of the tracker.
Additionally, our dementia alarms come with geo-fencing features which allow you to be notified should the user leave a specified ‘safe’ location. This allows you to quickly come to their aid or get help should they wander outside of the home.
Our SureSafe Dementia Tracker comes with a family and friends app included for free. In addition to giving in-app alerts when the alarm is activated and the alarm user needs help, the app allows you to instantly check on things like the alarm user’s location, view a history of prior locations, a log of any activity the alarm has had (e.g. SOS button presses, falls detected, geo-fence alerts, low battery alerts and many more). Additionally, you can set your availability in the app so other family members know who can help the alarm user at any given time, as well as a messaging system that all the nominated contacts with the app can communicate on.
Our dementia trackers are available in the form of a watch and include a non-removable strap and a key to unlock the strap. Having the dementia tracker securely locked on the wrist means that it is always with the person should they need it, for example, while showering, and it is easily accessible should an emergency occur. They do not need to worry about finding it or trying to get it out of a bag or pocket. They are also more likely to remember that they have it, when it can be seen easily at all times on their person.
GPS dementia trackers are equipped with an SOS button for if the user needs help. In the event of an emergency, they simply need to press the panic button and help will be on the way. With the GPS feature, when the alarm calls for help, it automatically shares its location. This will be visible in the family & friends app immediately. If you’re worried about your loved one, you can also check their location by simply looking in the app. As mentioned above, the SOS button can be disabled if it is not suitable, or not required, for the wearer’s needs.
When you choose a SureSafe dementia tracker alarm, your alarm has the option of family monitoring or 24/7 response centre monitoring. With our friends and family monitored option this allows you to set up a number of people of your choice who will be alerted should the wearer press the emergency button,or in the case of alarms for geo-fencing, or fall detection, be alerted should either the person wonder, or a fall be detected. Friends and family can set their availability to be a respondent in the app, so that they will not be contacted when they are unavailable, and the call will automatically be routed to an alternative nominated contact. This can be important if you are going on holiday, or your job means that you are not able to access your phone during certain hours of the day. Choosing 24/7 monitoring means that help is guaranteed regardless of the time, 365 days a year. This might be the most suitable option if loved ones are not able to receive or respond to the alarm during working hours or overnight, for example.

Protection for those living with dementia – prevent wandering
Dementia is associated with the loss of cognitive functioning, including memory, thinking, language and problem-solving, to such an extent that it interferes with daily life. With this in mind, people with dementia or Alzheimer’s can often get lost or confused about where they are or where they’re going. This can lead to “wandering” which is a serious concern for many caregivers who worry that their loved ones may become frightened, get lost or even walk into a dangerous situation. It’s estimated that around 60% of people with dementia will wander at least once but many are likely to wander on more than just one occasion.
Wandering is the primary reason people buy trackers for people with dementia. If a person wanders outdoors unannounced, it can take hours to try and find them. Wearing a dementia tracking device, such as the SureSafe Dementia Tracker, means that they can be located within minutes. They can allow a person with dementia to remain independent and live a normal life, knowing that if they need help, get lost or start to feel poorly, someone will be able to easily find them.
Alarms that are equipped with GPS tracking let respondents know where to send help in case of an emergency. This personal alarm is also equipped with Geo-Fencing which allows you to set a ‘safe zone’ and notifies you if your loved one leaves this area. Furthermore, it offers fall detection so if the wearer suffers a fall, someone will be alerted even if they are unable to press the SOS button.
Don’t wait until something happens.
A dementia tracker means your loved one is never alone. At the touch of a button, they can ask for help at any time of day or night, every day of the year. Allow them to stay at home longer and enjoy life as independently as possible.
