Abstract

A GPS tracking system has developed to ameliorate safety and well-being for dementia patients. The system uses IoT devices to monitor the patient's real-time location, providing caregivers with precise information about their whereabouts. The device connects to a mobile application and a central monitoring platform, allowing caregivers to track the patient's movements and receive real-time alerts if they leave a safe zone or enter an unsafe area. The system also offers two-way communication, allowing caregivers to establish voice contact with the patient if needed. A panic button allows the patient to press in case of distress, automatically alerting caregivers or emergency services. The system also contributes to a better quality of life for dementia patients, allowing them to maintain independence and freedom while ensuring their safety. The data collected can be used to develop more effective care strategies and treatment plans. Privacy and security are paramount, with access to the patient's location information only granted with consent.
