Keruve is a direct locator
especially designed for people with Alzheimer's that
still have autonomy and their families. Keruve consists
of a GPS wristwatch with safety lock for the person
with Alzheimer's to wear (see
image), and a portable receive for
the family or caregiver. The caregiver, by simply pressing
the locate button on the receiver, will generate a map
on the screen with the exact position of the person
wearing the GPS watch. Keruve is the most discreet,
easy to use, and reliable locator for Alzheimer's. |
